The FSE restore process will not perform actual restore, but will only copy the second and third most recent backup images stored on tape medium to the FSE disk buffer on the FSE server. The process will use the backup FSE medium loaded in the drive with control device /dev/sg1, and will report target location of the backup images in the FSE disk buffer. In this example, the FSE server is running on a Linux host:

fsebackup --device /dev/sg1 --offset 3 --count 2

Activity logging

FSE restore process reports its progress to the restore.log file.

Linux specific

FSE restore log file is located in the directory /var/opt/fse/log.

Windows specific

FSE restore log file is located in the directory %InstallPath%\var\log.

The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

Restore start and stop times are also reported to the FSE event log, whereas information on potential errors during restore can be found in the FSE error log. For more information, see section ”FSE log files” on page 196.
