This option will read through the contents of the backup and rebuild the label, one backup at a time. Once that
is accomplished, you may restore from the tape just as you could before making this terrible blunder.
This option will allow you to select disk backup files, although this is
typically only done with tapes. When a backup label is expired for a
disk backup, the actual disk backup is normally removed as well.
The option would be necessary if you were, for instance, to manually
move disk backup files from one server to another.
To rebuild the backup label, select
Utilities
!Rebuild (unexpire) a Backup Label
from the menu bar. A screen
similar to the following will appear:
Use the arrow button to select a Server Name from the drop-down list. After doing so, you can select the
Backup Device in the next field.
When using Network Edition, you can also choose “local (client tape/disk)” for the Server. By selecting this
option, you indicate that you want to read the backup information from a disk (directory) or a tape drive attached
to a client system, rather than a device configured on a server. After doing so, a new Client Name field will
appear where you must select the client where the backup exists.
Then press the
Select
button to read the backup media to obtain the Backup ID, which will be displayed in the
Backup ID field.
If you have read the appropriate backup, just press the
Rebuild Label
button to begin reading the media and
rebuilding the backup label. As this occurs, a screen similar to the following will appear:
When the process is complete, the completion status will be displayed and a
Show Label
button will appear,
with which you can display the
or press the
Cancel
button to return.
