The following procedure is an alternative for moving the image and media to a destination media server. This process might be easier than using the script and ARCENVX variable when many streams are involved.

  1. Identify all the backups to be moved in TARA and NetBackup.
  2. Identify all media associated with each backup or stream.
  3. Decide which destination media servers will be used for the restore operation and where each stream should run if the job is a multistream job.
  4. Find all of the TARA jir files for the backups by looking at the file timestamps and comparing them with the backup times.
  5. Use robocopy (Windows) or rsync (Linux) to copy the jir files to the new TARA server.
    The file timestamps must not change when copying the files. If the new TARA server does not reflect the backup times correctly, the ability of the new TARA server to perform restores is affected.
  6. If a different NetBackup master is used for the restore, import the media using the media server you intend to use for that stream in your analyze job. Select that media server when you import from the NetBackup Administration Console. If your backup has more than one stream, select the media server for each of the import operations. If the import operation defaults to ANY media server, you cannot map each stream's (imported) image to the appropriate STREAM and STREAMNAME combination.
  7. Use bpmedia -movedb to move the images to the desired destination media servers. Run a command for each media involved: bpmedia -movedb -m <media_barcode> -newserver <dest_media-svr> -oldserver <orig_media-svr> -v
  8. Launch the TARA GUI and browse for backups available to restore. Build and edit the job script as appropriate.
