Restoring storage groups from tape
This section provides an example of restoring data that has been backed up to tape, and recovering
a storage group. This example restores the data from tape to a secondary volume, and then restores
(recovers) the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by resynchronizing the volumes.
This example uses Operation_A as the operation ID.
To perform restoration of data from a VSS backup, the Protection Manager service must be running
on the backup server.
To restore a storage group:
1. Check the backup ID of the backup data.
To check the backup ID of the backup data used to restore the data from tape to the secondary
volume, execute the drmtapecat command on the backup server.
BKServer >drmtapecat -hostname DBServer -l
