Along with this comes a change in how users will recover lost files. Nothing related to bama backups is accessible through the old ADSM system any longer. We keep older backups of existing files for several weeks. Even files that have been deleted will stay in the backup system for a few days. Note that a deleted file does have to have been on the system for at least one day to have gone through the backup routine.
Individual users can run the program to restore files they have changed or deleted.
You can restore individual files, subdirectory trees, or even search through multiple backup copies of the same file reaching back over several dates. There are two parts to the backup system. The first is a database that lists all backed-up files along with the backup dates. The second is the actual tape library that holds the files. When you ask to restore a file it is first looked up in the database.
