CLI Script: To recover a DPM replica volume from data stored in tape

  • Comments 4

When a disaster occurs, and you lose your replica volume for any datasource, you could re-seed the replica from the backed-up data you have in tape. This little script initializes replica from a tape recovery point. The parameters have to be customized for your environment first as given below. 

Save the attached file as a .ps1 file and invoke through the DPM Management Shell.

  • is there any way to resync my replica volume in case i lost my OS in a disaster but I have the DPM database backed up and the replica volume?

    thanks

  • Yes! That is possible, and you can find information under "Disaster Recovery" and "How to manually load the replica" sections in the  online documentation found.

  • for the $dsname, what should we use if we have it stored on a san without a drive letter?

  • Hello,

    Is there any method to go for disk to disk to disk to tape? I have heard about this in a video but was not able to find any details about it.

    Thanks
