Restoring data from Tape in EMC Networker
1. Start Networker User program on the Networker server or on the local machine that you want to do the restore to. On the local machine the program is called winworkr.exe and should be in the nsr/bin directory. You can create a desktop shortcut to the program but you need to add the -s sun1.rafil.com to the end of the executable line in order to point to the Networker server.
2. Click the Recover button.
3. Select the system you want to restore from..
4. Select the system you want to restore to..
5. Scroll through the appropriate directory hierarchy to select the files and/or directories that you want to restore. You must right click selections to mark them for restore.
6. The latest available versions will be selected. If you want an earlier version then go to the View menu, select change browse time and select the date that you want to go back to. You will need to re-select and re-mark the files and/or directories that you want restored.
7. After selection in either case also go to the View menu and select the Required Volumes item. This will tell you which tape or file device that the items are located on. In the case of older tapes that may not be in the library you may have to cross-reference the Legato-Tape-List spreadsheet to find out if it is a Monthly at Iron Mountain or if it is a weekly that will be in our safe. You may have to retrieve the tape; load it in the library, inventory the library and load the tape in the drive prior to the restore.
8. You may double check the version date by going to the Networker Administrator program; select the Volumes tab along the bottom and double-click the tape number or volume name. This should pop up a window that lists everything on the media. You may double check that the file and proper revision you are looking for is on that tape.
9. After that return to the Networker User program and select the Options menu and the Recover Options sub-menu item. Make the appropriate selections for renaming or overwriting the recovered files. You may also designate an alternate directory location if necessary.
10. Once all of that is completed then select the Start button and monitor the progress of the restore.
11. When the restore is complete, unload the tape from the drive, remove the tape from the library and return it to the proper location in the safe and/or Iron Mountain.
