Source:Restore from tape via SBC without a valid SEP sesam database

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

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

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.
