robmaas Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm missing a few past backups and mediasets, but how can I restore from these backups from LTO-5 tapes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robmaas Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Would it be possible, to save time, to manually stop the rebuild after 5 - 10 minutes so that in restore assistant you will see the master directories again, select them and restore what's inside? Or should I really restore the last tape (I did check fast rebuild) completely? I tried it myself after stopping but now the restore script 'needs media' so guess it doesn't work like this and I have to restore at 3GB/m?

Yes, you should.Fast catalog rebuild means that you don't have to read through all the other tapes. You still have to run through the last tape.
