You may also use sequential tape devices to restore from the backup if the backup spans multiple tapes
and you want the installation to automatically span the tapes inserted in different devices. This option is
identical to the use of a
Sequential Tape Device
. The devices previously configured on the system are not

You must select at least two drives from the list. To do so, highlight the desired entry and press Enter. An
arrow (==>) will appear next to each option selected.
Important: You must select the devices in the same order in which they will be read.

system backup disks, and then the disks will be queried for available system backups. If any are found, a
screen similar to the following will appear, from which you may select the backup to restore:
Select a backup by highlighting the desired line and pressing ENTER, or press F3 or ESC key to cancel the

Network Edition
and
Workstation Edition
licenses only.
You must first select the
Set or Change NFS Mount Configuration
