Restart Backup.
After the server indexes and configuration files are recovered, you have a fully functioning autochanger. Inventory the contents of your autochanger, especially if you manually moved volumes as part of the disaster recovery.

Recovery with a Stand-Alone Drive

If you choose to recover with a drive in the autochanger, review these issues about recovering data prior to restoring the indexes and configuration files: *If the autochanger has more than one drive, use the first drive for recovery. *You must manually mount the backup volumes required for recovering the server
indexes and configurations files.
*If you remove backup volumes from the autochanger cartridge used for
recovering the Backup indexes and configuration files, put them back in the same
slots when you finish.

How to Perform Disaster Recovery With a Stand-Alone Drive

Use the following instructions to perform a disaster recovery using just a drive inside the autochanger for a Backup server:

1.If necessary, reinstall the operating system and Backup software.
If you need to reinstall the Backup software, use the same pathname for the indexes
that you previously used and backed up.
2.Locate your bootstrap data, either an electronic file or hardcopy.
With this information, determine which volumes are necessary for recovering the
server indexes and configuration files.
3.Manually mount the appropriate volume into the drive.
4.Enter the mmrecovcommand.
5.Shut down Backup.

6.Rename the original

/nsr/resdirectory to /nsr/res.orig.

7.Rename the recovered /nsr/res.Rdirectory to /nsr/res. 8.Restart Backup.
