5 Restoring Files and Folders

In case of hardware failure or accidental erasure of files, you can use the Stac

Replica Backup HP SureStore Tape Edition's restore files shortcut to mount the

appropriate backup tape as a removable drive, then restore the lost or damaged

files by simply copying the originals to the desired location.

Restoration is a three-step process: mounting the backup tape as a drive, copying

the files to the desired location, then dismounting the tape volume.

The figure below illustrates the procedure for restoring files from a backup tape

mounted as a removable drive.

Mounting a Backup Tape as a Volume

Replica mounts tape as a system volume that is recognized

as Drive F; while mounted, it's no longer visible

to Replica as backup media.

Dismount tape through Replica; tape is no longer visible

as a system volume, instead is visible only to Replica

as backup media.

Figure 5-1. Restoring Files from a Backup Mounted as a Removable Drive

Installed hard drives are

mounted as Drives C and E.

Tape is unmounted; visible only to Replica

as backup media.
