Restore a whole VM from tapes - index restore to browse ?

Hi,

 

Today, when I tried to restore a whole VM from a tape backup that is 1 month old, it gave me the below message, asking for a missing tape for index restore to browse

 

So, I loaded the tape 66L8, in fact, I loaded all the tapes needed for this backup job.

 

As you can see from the below screenshot, all the tapes needed for this backup job are in the tape library now.

 

 

But, it doesn’t make any difference. The restore is still giving me the same message, i.e. asking for the same missing tape (which has been loaded in the tape library) for index restore to browse

 

 

So, I’m wondering if anyone can tell me what’s still missing here for this restore job ? Or I actually need to hit the “Restore Index” button ?

 

Sorry if I asked a stupid question as this is the first time I need to do a VM restore from tapes.

 

Thanks very much,

 

Kelvin

It’s likely looking to restore index data to bridge the index between now and then. You need to restore the index.

Hi Aplynx,

So I will need to hit the “Restore Index” button to do an index restore first.

OK, that makes sense to me.

Thanks,

Kelvin
