most recent backups in the media database may not have been fully replicated and thus may not be usable for restore.) Figure 57 Data Recovery from the Target VLS 1. The source VLS becomes inaccessible to the remote VLS and to the backup host. 2. The source tape library and drive are deleted from the backup host (cartridge media pools remain). 3. The target VLS is enabled using the VLS LUN mapping feature in the GUI. 4. The backup application server configures the target library and tape drives and performs a barcode scan. 5. The backup application recognizes data cartridges within the new library. 6. Data is restored using target cartridges (unknown to the backup application) where the most recent backup is forward referenced. Restore the VLS over the LAN/WAN Another method of recovery is to restore the backups over the WAN/LAN from the target device back to a rebuilt source device. The restore over WAN/LAN can be initiated from the source device in the "Restore Media" task in LAN/WAN destination library slots, where you can then select which target cartridges you want to restore back to their matching cartridges on the source device. The LAN/WAN restore is a whole cartridge non-deduplicated copy so the entire contents of the cartridge are read back over the LAN/WAN, and the resulting restored cartridges on the source device will never deduplicate against any other cartridges on the device (until they are recycled and then overwritten with new backups). Given this, you would be limited by the bandwidth of the replication link in terms of how much data can be restored, and so generally you would restore the cartridges containing the last full backup and any incremental backups after this point. These can then be used by the backup application to import/restore from the source device's virtual library to replacement servers. 122 Replication
