Restore of data

[avinash59]

Hi Guys,

We got a restore request for one of the client, where she wants an entire directory to be backed up. The date mentioned is of 10 DEC, but when we checked it in the schedules we found out that there was no full backup taken in that place, instead of that we are getting cumulative and differential. Can you please help me on getting some of the reports;

1) As this particular server is moving on tapes, how to check on which tapes has the backups been written.

2) And also, what kind of backups has been written to the tapes related to this client.

Please giude me on this. Thanks in advance.

2)Go To Tape Reports-Images on Tape Seelct the client- on media ID drop down it will list out all the written media.If u dnt select it will give out the details for all used media id..

Run the report u can see from tat which kind of backups has been written to the tapes by seeing policy details(policy name and policy type)

If you are using netbackup OpsCenter you can also try and pull reports for the particular client. The report will list all the details like the media ids used, the policy, etc.
