This article describes, how to restore the SEP sesam Server from tape via SBC CL without the program sm_recover. For details on SBC CLI usage and available commands, see SBC CLI.

Prerequisites

  • Installed SEP sesam Server (identical version to the preceding system). For details on installation, see SEP sesam Quick Install Guide.
  • A medium that contains correctly saved SESAM_BACKUP.

Restoring the SESAM_BACKUP via SBC

In order to restore the SESAM_BACKUP (backed up SEP sesam's <SESAM_VAR> and <SESAM_ROOT>/bin/sesam directories) from tape via SEP sesam SBC CLI, proceed as follows:

  1. Display the existing savesets on the tape via sm_sms_interface:
    2. Information sign.png Note
    On Windows, replace the tape device identifier (/dev/nst0) with the corresponding Windows device (Tape0).

    The following information from the output is important:

    • Segment number (4)
    • Saveset name (SC20090610105624)
    • Tape label (cefix00001)
    • Tape ID (1)
  2. Restore the saveset by using the command:
    3. sbc -r -l FULL -C <control_host>:11001 -S <storage_host>:11001 -d SMS:<tape_device> -t <tape_name>:<tape_id> -s <saveset_id> -n <segment_number> -R / -o overwrite
    • control_host is always the SEP sesam Server.
    • storage_host can be the SEP sesam Server or Remote Device Server (RDS) with the attached medium.
    In our example, the command overwrites existing data files (-o overwrite)! If you do not want to overwrite the files, make sure to remove the overwrite option. You can also change the restore target with the -R <path>. Restore.jpg
