nbu bpduplicate

command to duplicate from tape to disk?

Tapes have been imported from site A to site B.

 

On site B phase 2 import completed successfully.

 

Now restore needs to be done from disk on site B.For this we need to duplicate to local disk on site B.(AND THAT WILL BE PRIMARY COPY.ONLY ONE COPY IS NEEDED.

 

PLEASE PROVIDE THE COMMAND.

 

sudo ./bpduplicate -id L00005  -dstunit STU1-DD

    This is how easy it is ...

    root@nbmaster00 admin $ bpmedialist -m E01010 -mcontents
    media id = E01010, allocated 07/02/2013 14:31, retention level = 1
     
    File number 1
      Backup id = nbmaster00_1372800666
      Creation date = 07/02/2013 14:31
      Expiration date = 07/16/2013 14:31
      Retention level = 1
      Copy number = 1
      Fragment number = 1
      Block size (in bytes) = 65536
     
    Then for each backupid (only one on this tape)
     
    root@nbmaster00 admin $ bpduplicate -backupid nbmaster00_1372800666 -dstunit nbmaster00-disk

    I could be wrong, but I have a strong feeling that it is not possible to dupplicate a tape that has been imported. I am 99% sure of this. Martin

    I need to have the command so that duplication can occur from the media id.

     

    That will be simple for me.we have 20 medias.

    I really really think it is not possiible. You appear to have the correct syntax. Tell you what, I'll try it - need a few mins to log on to a server and run the test

    Syntax is out of order (?)  Try it with the destination STU first:

    sudo ./bpduplicate  -dstunit STU1-DD  -id L00005

    Ok Martin.

    OK, first, this is a duplication to disk, using the sytax you had, on a tape that was not imported

    root@nbmaster00 testdata $ bpduplicate -id E01010 -dstunit nbmaster00-disk

    INF - Status = successfully duplicated 1 of 1 images.
     
    It works fine.
     
    Next I will export, then import the tape and use the same command to try and duplicat it to the same STU.
     
    Back in a couple of mins ...
