Recovering in another networker server

I am not sure if its possible for two NW servers to share the same indexes and media library.

If this going to be a one off then the customer can use scanner command on the remote server to create the indexes so restore is possible.

Is your question relate to DR?

Yes, but you will need to create the client on the new server and you will then have the scan the tape in before you can recover it.

Hi,

Yes HabibG2, it's about DR.

If the primary site goes off, They want to restore in the remote site (another NW server with the same version and the same library) with the primary site medias.

Thanks.

ok.

I am reading the paragraph "Recovering backed-up client files from an old NetWorker server".

thanks

I thought so.

Well, there is a complete chapter on DR in the NW admin guide which is quite comprehensive. May I suggest you go through it and ask for clarification on anything you do not understand.

Documentation and White papers can be accessed from;

But they want recover only the file client. They don't want recover the nw server...

Great.

DR is a little more complicated than just recovering backed-up client files from an old NetWorker server. I suggest you also have a look at the various steps involved in DR procedure..

Scan the data you wish to restore and that's it - afterwards you can restore.

From what you appear to be saying you would like to be able to recover one or a few clients at the other site, not restore your entire environment. On the assumption that you have still got the original Networker server you can find the required volume(s) using mminfo, the GUI or even going through the restore process as far as selecting the files then checking volumes required. At the new site ensure you have a client configured with the same name as the client you are restoring, put you tape in the library, load without mount into a drive and at the command line run.

scanner -i /dev/rmt99cbn

(or whatever the drive path the tape is mounted in is). Do this for all required tapes - this may take quite a bit of time if you have several tapes to scan in.

Ok, thank you so much
