@JMeixner Status as of now the backup files are stored in 

G:\Restore\Backups\XX - Backup Job\Backups\Backups\xx - Backup Job

 

According to your instructions we need to import the backup file where? I selected the job in G drive. Only can see vbk file and not vib.

As I said before, I never have tried this way you are showing here.

But the incremental backups (.vib) are dependent on the full backup (.vbk). So, I think the whole backup chain will be imported.

@JMeixner Thank you for all your patience. I have reached out to Veeam representative and they have provided support to show different options on Tape restore.

😀 Ok, you are welcome. I hope they can help you.

It would be interesting when you post the procedure you have used and which worked for you here into this thread.

ok thank for the quick response. Looking for a drive which has 397 GB space. Will proceed with restore soon. Sorry will probably ask few questions if I get stuck since this is the first time restoring files from tape.

Just be absolute clear, you need the .vbk file with corresponding .vib files from the timeframe you want to restore from only. Not the whole tape content…

And you are welcome. You can't learn new things without asking. 🙂

@JMeixner I have copied the job from tape to disk (.vbk and .vib)

What are the next steps to follow? Can I restore from here or do I need to copy?
