Wrong documentation - tape restore

[check4backup]

Hi,

Tape Devices Support User Guide
December, 2017 - page 150

Restoring Files from Tape
Step 1. Launch the Files from Tape Wizard
To run the Files from Tape wizard, open the Home tab and click Restore on the ribbon. Choose Tape > Restore Files.

There is no tape restore on the ribbon, only Microsoft Hyper-V backup...
Either the documentation is wrong or this is a bug.

Veeam 9.5.0.1536

Many thanks and best regards

Do you have a tape server added and at least one tape backup registered on your backup server? Thanks.

[check4backup]

Yes, a tape server is registered. Otherwise it wouldn't matter. There are tape jobs available. The jobs run without problems. By selecting files, I can also restore them. But the wizard cannot be started via the ribbon as described in the documentation.
I only have file-to-tape jobs.

Hi. Thanks for noticing, I can confirm it, the file from tape restore option is hidden in the ribbon unless you have at least one backup on tapes. We'll fix it in future updates. Please use node Files instead of the ribbon.

Restore from tape 9.5.0.1536

Aren't you talking about this issue by any chance? Thanks.

Hi.

So how do I go about selecting a file from tape - just select restore from file in general then the restore point and have the tapes inserted?

Do you know when this will be fixed.

Thanks

[veremin]

The restore option should be available on the FIles node (on the left).

The issue will be fixed in one of the next product updates.

Thanks.

I'm totally blind...I don't know where this is... I only have the ability to restore from restore points not take...can you provide screenshots where this is? And when will this be fixed

[rm4g00]

Apologies

I've found it..thanks for your help

[veremin]

You're welcome. Thank you for drawing our attention to this issue, it got tracked already and should be addressed in future updates.

Any update when this bug in the gui will be fixed ?

Work around is fine, just want to make sure this is still on the radar to be fixed
