Restore with SESAM Backup from tape without sm_recover.

Goals

Restore of a SESAM server without sm_recover only with sbc directly off a tape.

Prerequisite

1) Correctly set up OS with working Tape drive or loader device
2) Correctly installed SEP Sesam server (identical version to the preceiding system)
3) Medium which contains a corretly saved SESAM-BACKUP

Displaying the savesets on the tape via sm_sms_interface

Important information here:
1) Segment number (4)
2) Saveset name (SC20090610105624)
3) Tape Label (cefix00001) 
4) Tape ID (1)

Restore of the saveset via sbc

Information sign.png Note
The example command overwrites existing data files (-o overwrite)! Be sure to remove that option if you do not want to overwrite files. Also, the restore target can be changed with -R <path>

Restore is done with the sbc command which contains the following information:

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 <segmentnummer> -R / -o overwrite
If a restore of a database has to be done to a dumpfile, the command will have to look like this (in Linux):
sbc -r -l FULL -C <client_host>:11001 -S <server_host>:11001 -d SMS:<tape_device> 
-t <tape_name>:<tape_id> -s <saveset_id> -n <segmentnummer> -o over -F none @@file:/tmp/restore_db.sql


control_host is always the Sesam server itself

storage_host can be the Sesam server or a Remote Device Server (RDS), where the medium is attached at.
