Restoring a storage group to a local site
This section explains how to restore a storage group to a local site when the local site is operating
normally without any failures. The procedures for restoring the data to a local site and to a remote
site are explained separately.
Operations at the remote site
To restore a storage group to a local site:
1. Split the Continuous Access Software pair (usual operation is in the pair status).
BKServer > pairsplit -g Cnt Ac01 -d EXG11 -rw
BKServer > pairsplit -g Cnt Ac02 -d EXG12 -rw
BKServer >
2. Check the backup ID of the backup data.
To check the backup ID, execute the drmtapecat command on the backup server.
BKServer >drmtapecat -l

3. Restore the backed up data from the tape to the secondary volume.
To restore the data, execute EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE on the backup server. The command
specifies the D: drive as the mount point.
BKServer > EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE Operation_A -backup_id 0000000002
-mount_pt D:
When you execute restore, information about this restore is registered in the backup catalog of
the backup server with the new backup ID 0000000003.
