Symantec Backup Exec

1

Inventory all the tapes included in the ARCserve backup.

See Inventorying media in a device.

2

Catalog all the tapes included in the ARCserve backup.

See Creating a new catalog.

During cataloging, Backup Exec reports file formats that it can read. Files that cannot be read do not appear in the catalogs. The media description that appears in the Backup Exec catalog comes from the session description used by ARCserve.

Media-based catalogs are not supported on tapes created by other vendors’ backup products. Because of this, cataloging ARCserve tapes takes considerably longer than cataloging a tape made with Backup Exec.

3

Restore selected data to a server or workstation.

See Restoring data by setting job properties.

Due to the naming conventions ARCserve uses for some systems, it may be necessary to select a different location for the data using Backup Exec’s File Redirection.
