Restoring files with non-NetBackup restore utilities (on UNIX)
This sequence assumes that the media is known to Media Manager and that the tape drive is under Media Manager control.
Before you begin, obtain the following information:
The media ID of the tape that contains the required backup.
The tape file number of the backup on the tape.
See the NetBackup Images on Media report for this tape.
The tape type and density.
The tape pool.
To restore files with a non-NetBackup utility
- Enter the following command:
tpreq -m media_id -a r -d density -p poolname -f /tmp/tape
Where the following is true:
media_id is the media ID of tape that contains the backup.
density is the density of the tape.
poolname is the volume pool to which the tape belongs
- Enter the following command: mt -f /tmp/tape rew
- Enter the following command: mt -f /tmp/tape fsf file_#
Where the following is true:
file_# is the tape file number of the backup on tape. Determine the tape file number by checking the NetBackup Images on Media report for the tape.
- Enter the following command: mt -f /tmp/tape fsr
- Enter the following command:
/bin/nbtar -tvfb /tmp/tape blocksize
Where the following is true:
blocksize is 64 (assume that the tape is written with 32K blocks)
- Enter the following command: tpunmount /tmp/tape
