how to restore from tape if master & media server is different through netbackup

[am2588]

I have to restore data to another location from tape which is having the backup data.But situation is like this:

The Master & Media Server is different and also hostname different, IP different.

The fresh new Master & Media Server is connected new Liberary.I have inserted that tape in it & robot has reconisged bar code. Now how to restore data from it either on the same client's backup or on different client using the new server.

Note: Both Old & New server are NOT in cluster, they are seperately individual.

Please provide me expert advice and suggestion to pursue this activity.

You need to perform phase 1 and 2 import of tapes.

See http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH43584

make sure the tapes in new master server are not in the the same volume pool that is being used by regular backups, if that is the case there is a possiblity of getting overwritten by the new backup jobs

so move the tapes to the new volume pool (or create new and do not assing it) , as soon as you do the inventory.

then proceed with phase 1 and phase 2 imports..as Marianne suggested.

you also have an another option , which is recovery with our import.

you can get the details from below T/N

Dear Marianne

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

You can also put the hardware lock on the tape so that it will not be overwritten.
