Restoring from old tapes

Question

Hi I have been tasked with reviewing old backup tapes to find certain files.&nbsp; I have not used Netbackup for a couple of years and the company I am working with does not have support anymore.&nbsp; I have connected the drive to the Windows 2003 server and inventoried the drive so that Netbackup sees the tapes that are loaded.&nbsp; I have forgotten how to get to the data on each tape.&nbsp; Can someone walk me through what to do to see the data on the tapes so that I can restore the needed files?&nbsp; We are using NetBackup 7.5.

You will need to import the old tapes.
First run phase 1 import for all tapes, then phase 2.
See&nbsp;http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH43584&nbsp;for step-by-step instructions.
