what is the "other storage" ? Assuming you are using Avamar with Data Domain. If the Avamar server is not replicated to another Avamar server and the Avamar server is lost, while the data is still available in the mtree it's not recoverable because the "brains" are in the Avamar database that is now lost.
IF ... it would be Avamar + DD combo with Avamar only handling metadata AND checkpoints are stored in DD - you could bring new Avamar node to the front and restore latest checkpoint from DD. With Dell Support.
Thank you for your quick response. My question is we had an IDPA server and when we start gsan it takes a lot of time and it still doesn't start. A lot of data has been backed up and almost all of the Avamar services have stopped and I can't find the checkpoint,
what do you recommend?
As a solution, is it possible to restore the backed up data if we reinstall the Avamar server?
