Recover Catalogs from Tape - Media Manager Catalogs Intact
When the Media Manager catalogs are intact, you can recover the catalog backups by
using a drive configured under Media Manager control as follows:
1. Use the NetBackup Activity Monitor, or the Services application in the Windows
Control Panel, to stop the following services if they are running:
◆ NetBackup Request Manager service
◆ NetBackup Database Manager service
2. Insert the tape with the catalog backup into an appropriate drive.
If the tape is not in the drive, the Device Monitor shows a mount request when you
start the recovery. If this occurs, insert the tape and use the Device Monitor to assign
the drive to the request.
3. On the NetBackup server where the drive attaches, execute the bprecover
command.

media ID JBL29. To recover the NetBackup part of the catalogs from image 1 on the
tape, execute the following command on shark:
