Doing Exch restore - Legato needs more tapes?

[backupworker]

We are having to restore one of our exchange information stores - When I am in networker user for exchange and select the IS to restore, and then to go to View --> Required Volumes, it gives me the tapes that are needed for the restore.

I put the tapes into the library and the restore starts. Partway into the restore, it then pops up that Tape XXX is needed, which was not on the list of required volumes.

Has anyone run this before? This has happened two times already for two different restores.

What happens if you provide the tapes? Did the recover run fine? If yes, i expect that this functionality is somehow broken.

 

[backupworker]

Yes, after the newly requested tapes are inserted into the library, the restore continues and eventually finishes.

Then i assume that there is a bug with the "Required Volumes" report. You should open a bug.

I was hoping that was not the case. Thanks for your help.

 

[Chapter11]

Networker has been doing this for a long time. Never trust the "Required Volumes" option off the recover tool menu.

Figure out what saveset you're going to be restoring from, and pull *all* of the tapes it's on.
