How to Restore a Deduplication Data Store From a Tape

If you have previously backed up a deduplication data store from a recovery point server (RPS) to a tape device, you can restore the data store. For this procedure, Arcserve Backup and Arcserve UDP are used in conjunction with each other to restore a deduplication data store from a tape. Arcserve Backup is used to restore it from the tape to a specified destination, and then Arcserve UDP is used to import it to an RPS.

The following two processes are involved in the restore procedure:

1. The first process uses Arcserve Backup to restore the sessions from the tape media to a volume. It is recommended to restore the sessions to an alternate location.
2. The second process uses Arcserve UDP to import the restored data store to the RPS.

   Note: You will need to provide the Backup Destination Folder path of the deduplication data store when you browse the location during import.

The following diagram illustrates how to restore AN Arcserve deduplication data store from a tape:
