How to restore data from tape ?

[netbackup1234]

I am not good in Netbackup. Recently we got tape which was written by Netbackup server. I am TSM guy. Any idea how to approach this restore ? At our site we are TSM shop, we never used netbackup before.

Thank you.

you will need to import the media so that NBU knows what actually resides on the media.

There is a very good section on importing media in the NBU 6.0 Admin Guide volume 1

Note : Even if you are using an earlier version the procedure is the same.

You just need to ensure that the version of NBU you are runing is the same or later then the server that wrote the backup.

Then have a look at the NBU 6.0 BAR guide which covers the restore
