Restoring a virtual tape from a replication target
You can restore virtual tapes that were replicated to remote VTS servers (by replicate jobs). The
virtual tape that will be imported will be locked and, therefore, cannot reside in an active library.
Note Replicate jobs write to temporary files and can be resumed if you retry the job within 25 hours
of the original job run.
To restore exported virtual tapes as part of disaster recovery (if the source VTS server is
unavailable), you can convert a target server to a source server to access the exported virtual tapes.
Refer to "Reinstalling and Restoring VTS" on page 215for instructions.
To restore replicated tapes
1. Click Administration > External Data on the navigation pane.
