Restore backup from tape, server not available.

Post by piotrl »

Hi,
I need to restore files from RDX cartridge, the problem is that the backup server has gone years ago and the only thing which I have is RDX cartridge and RDX docking system. Is it possible at all?
Will be very thankful for any help / comment.
Regards
Piotr

Sure all backup file chains are self describing.
Install an actual B&R Server. Add for exmple VMware infrasturecure where you want to restore.
Then Add the RDX drive to the server.
Press the Import button at the top and select the backup files.
If there is no vmx file (newer backup format) you have to use the drop down to switch file format to .vbk on the bottom right.

It will import the backups to Home-Backups-Disk(Imported). From there you can right click and use the restore wizards.
Cross Plattform restore (including instant restore) is available in latest versions.
