What if I do not see backups stored on tapes?
It may mean that the database with the contents of tapes is lost or corrupted for some reason.
To restore the database, do the following:
If the backup is located on the machine
1. After you click Recover, click Select data, and then click Browse.
2. Double-click Tape devices. The system prompts to confirm the tape devices detection. Click Yes.
3. After the detected tape devices appear in the tree, select the necessary device and click OK. The
system prompts to confirm the rescanning operation. Click Yes.
4. Rescan (p. 207) the Unrecognized tapes pool. As a result, you will get the contents of the loaded
tape(s).
5. If any of the detected backups continue on other tapes that have not been rescanned yet, load
these tapes as prompted and rescan them.
6. After that, you can select the required backup.
If the backup is located on a storage node
1. Connect the console to the management server.
2. Detect the tape devices (p. 202).
3. Perform the fast inventorying (p. 208).
During the inventorying, do not select the Move newly detected tapes from the 'Unrecognized tapes' or
'Imported tapes' pools to the 'Free tapes' pool check box. If the check box is selected, you may lose all your
backups.
4. Create a managed vault (p. 210) on the tape device.
5. Rescan (p. 207) the Unrecognized tapes pool. As a result, you will get the contents of the loaded
tape(s).
6. If any of the detected backups continue on other tapes that have not been rescanned yet, load
these tapes as prompted and rescan them.

device

1. Load the tape(s) required for the recovery into the tape device.
2. Boot the machine from the bootable media.

WinPE-based media.

"Configuring iSCSI and NDAS devices" (p. 258).
5. Click Recover.
6. Click Select data, and then click Browse.
