Important! After you copy the recovery points to a tape, you cannot restore the data in tape from Arcserve UDP Console. You have to restore the data from Arcserve Backup Manager. For more information on restoring the tape data, see Backing Up and Recovering D2D/UDP Data in Arcserve Backup Administrator Guide.
