You may well need to contact the supplier to see if they can supply an old version, however the current version is likely to be backwards compatible for some time.

How big is the gap between the backup version and the current version?
How old is the tape, and will it still work even?

The Legato setup is the same version was made the backup. The backup is 8 years old aprox. this was made with solaris sparc server 5.8 . For mount the tape I have a L25 Sun TapeDrive.

Thanks in advanced !

Hi,

Do you have the server software installed anywhere, or do you use something else now for your backups. I would start with the pages here this is a pretty comprehensive resource with lots of really good stuff.

However if you don't have a recovery solution for your legacy tapes and data, you may well have to go back to EMC as the current vendor of the software and request help from them.

Regards

Dave

Hi,

You may want to check the quality of the tapes as well, eight years is a long time - has anyone done a test restore of the data at any time. You can check the tape is actually readable using the "mt" commands and you could read a file or a number of files in and send them to "/dev/null" using the "dd" command.

I'm not entirely sure whether one of the standard Unix utilities like "cpio" or "tar" underlies networker - but it may be worth investigating as sometimes backup utilities "wrap" the above commands.

Regards

Dave
