New features in SCO ARCserve/Open Release 2.2.0

Restoring an NDS tree

You can use either Tape View or Tape Session to restore your NDS trees. This section outlines the steps for restoring NDS objects using the Tape Session view. For information on using Tape View, see the SCO ARCserve/Open User Guide.


NOTE: You will not be able to use the Tape Session view if you do not have Queue Operator permissions. If you are not a Queue Operator, you can only use the Tape View to restore from your own sessions.

Finding the NDS session to restore

When using the Tape Session view, you are required to select the tape session that you want restored. To locate the correct session containing the NDS information:

Restoring the NDS tree using Tape Session

To restore an NDS tree using the Tape Session view:

  1. In the toolbar on the Restore Manager window, click on the Tape Session button.

    SCO ARCserve/Open reads directly from your tape devices and displays the tape groups that you are using.

  2. Select the tape that you want to use for the restore operation.

  3. Click on Source and select the session containing the NDS tree that you want to restore.


  4. In the Destination area, select the NDS tree as shown below:


     


    NOTE: When selecting an NDS tree as your restore source, you must select the same NDS tree as your restore destination.

    In addition, you must have admin (or supervisor) rights to the NDS tree that you select as your restore destination.


    Once selected, you see the Secured Object Login dialog box.

  5. Enter the NDS user name and password to log into the selected tree. See ``Selecting an NDS tree for backup'' for information on entering valid user names.

  6. Click on the Run button to schedule and run the restore job.


NOTE: After restoring an NDS tree, you may need to run certain NDS management utilities, such as DS_Repair and DS_Install, on your NetWare-enabled UnixWare 7 server. See your UnixWare 7 NDS documentation for more information on these management utilities.
