Export and import tapes index

Post by pawell »

Hello. I want to move B&R server. But now it has some tapes imported. Is there any way to move tape idexes to other server? I don't want to wait 2 days to import tapes again.

What product version are you using? Is the backup server also playing the role of tape server? What do you mean by move? Re-install software on a complete different server, migrate VM from one host to the other or something different?

I use B&R8 and I want to reinstall it on other server. Tape server is located on other machine and will not be moved.

Most likely you would want to keep your current Veeam B&R configuration anyway, so information about tapes will be available on the new server after configuration import.

Don't forget to stop tape activity, once the configuration backup is taken. That should help to avoid inconsistencies after configuration restore. Thanks.
