Recovering under bootable media from a tape device attached to a storage node

To recover under bootable media from a tape device attached to a storage node:

  1. Load the tape(s) required for the recovery into the tape device.
  2. Boot the machine from the bootable media.
  3. Click Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5, and then click Manage this machine locally. Skip this step if you use WinPE-based media.
  4. Click Recover.
  5. Click Select data, and then click Browse.
  6. In the Path box, type bsp://<storage node address>/<vault name>/, where <storage node address> is the IP address of the storage node that contains the required backup, and <vault name> is the name of the vault. Click OK and specify credentials for the vault.
  7. Select the backup, and then select the data you want to recover. After you click OK, the Recover page will show you the list of tapes required for the recovery. The missing tapes are grayed out. If your tape device has empty slots, load these tapes into the device.
  8. Configure other recovery settings.
  9. Click OK to start the recovery.
  10. If any of the required tapes are not loaded for some reason, the software will show you a message with the identifier of the needed tape. Load the tape, and click Retry to continue the recovery.
