Restoring from media in a vault

Restoring media from a vault is no different than restoring from any other media.

Depending on how your data and catalog protection policies are defined, you may

need to do some additional steps:

1. Bring media from a vault and insert the media into a device.

2. If the catalog protection for the media is still valid, restore data simply by selecting

what you want to restore using the Data Protector user interface.

If the catalog protection for the media has expired, Data Protector does not have

detailed information about the backed up data. You must restore by manually

specifying the files or directories you want to restore. You can also restore the

complete object to a spare disk and then search for files and directories in the

restored filesystem.

TIP:

To re-read detailed information about the files and directories backed up on the media

once the catalog protection has expired, export the media and import them back. Then

specify that you want to read the detailed catalog data from those media. Now you will

be able to select files and directories in the Data Protector user interface again.

For more information on how data protection and catalog protection policies influence

restores, see “Keeping backed up data and information about the data” on page 99.

Devices

Data Protector supports a number of devices available on the market. For an up-to-date

list of supported devices, see the HP Data Protector product announcements, software

notes, and references.

Using devices with Data Protector

To use a device with Data Protector, you must configure the device in the Data

Protector cell. When you configure a device, you specify a name for the device,

some device specific options, such as barcode or cleaning tape support, and a media

pool. The process of configuring devices is simplified with a wizard that leads you

through all the steps and can even detect and configure devices automatically. The

same physical device can be defined multiple times with different usage properties
