Restore

[Gerald_Graves]

I had to rebuild my 2003 server.
It is now up and running with BE 9.1.
I have restored my data files.
Now I would like to restore my tape catalog and job sets from the tape.

Thanks
Gerald

On your latest backup tape, in the ..\BackupExec\NT\Data folder, look for BEDB.BAK, restore that, then use BEUTIL, pointed at this file to recover your backup system info.Message was edited by:

Thanks
Do I restore the complete directory or just that one file?
What BE utility do I run?

Hi,

If you need to restore data that you had earlier backed up to tape., then "Catalog" the tape and run a restore job.

A tape can be catlogged from the "Media" tab. Just right click on the tape and select "Catalog".


If what you intend is to restore all the selection lists, media sets, job definitions from the earlier installation of Backup Exec 9.1, then you would need to use the BEDB.BAK from the "DATA" folder that you had saved ( did you..?) to another server before reinstalling the operating system.


Copy the older BEDB.BAK into the Backup Exec directory , rename the existing one and follow the steps as per:
