HP LCS60 manual Centralized Backup/Restore Remote Mode, To List the Contents of a Tape

Backup and Restore Operations

Administration

There are three types of partial restores, each of which restores predefined sets of related files:

Password	restores group id, password files, and shadow files, and the time
	zone setting.
Server	restores lists of authorized backup/restore servers and clients
	and, for servers only, restores the archives containing all back-
	ups for all clients. The directory /etc/opt/dk is restored as part of a
	Server restore.
Config	restores configuration files for the LCS60. The Config restore
	will fail unless TCP/IP has been stopped.

Caution: When performing a Server or COMPLETE restore, the restored database will be the database of the last backup. This means that any new clients or any client backups since the last database backup will be lost. Similarly, any clients or client backups deleted since the last backup will reappear.

After selecting a type of restore but before prompting the user for final authori- zation to proceed with the restore, the files and directories to be restored are displayed. This gives the user an opportunity to verify that the correct type of restore has been selected.

To List the Contents of a Tape

To display the contents of a backup tape, select option 1 from Screen 8-10 and insert a backup tape into the tape drive when instructed to do so. Because this function does not copy any files from the tape to the disk, it will work with backup tapes that have not been created for the same machine.

Centralized Backup/Restore – Remote Mode

Access the centralized backup and restore operations by selecting option 2 from the LCS60 Backup and Restore Configuration menu (Screen 8-8).
