Hi,
I recently was asked to get a copy of some data from certain dates. So,
I found which saveset id's I needed, and used the nsrclone command
to clone these ssid's. I did this on our backup server, which is
running Solaris 7, Solstice Backup 5.5.3 Build 262/extended, and
a Sun library with DLT7000 tapes (I forget the library model..)
So, in order to verify that I really have the data that I need on my
clone tapes, I put the clone tapes into our old backup server (running
Solaris 2.6, Solstice Backup 5.5.3 Build 262/turbo, and a Sun library with
DLT7000 tapes (l3500). I used the scanner command to scan in the tapes.
This seemed to work ok.. I could see these tapes in the "volumes" window
and I see the filesystems in the "volumes" window too.
However, when I try to use the recover command, or simply just mount
the tape, nwadmin keeps saying that it's trying to verify the label
on the tape. But it won't mount, thus I can't recover from the tape.
I opened a ticket with Sun, and they told me that I have to update the
st driver(s) on both machines. But I'm not 100% convinced that
this is the problem.
Has anyone tried to restore from a tape by putting the tape into
a different backup server? What is the process that you used? Any
idea's of what's going on with my machine?
Thanks a lot in advance!!
