Importing backup images, Phase II

To import the backups that consist of fragments on multiple tapes, first run the Initiate Import (Import Phase I). The first phase reads the catalog to determine all the tapes that contain fragments. After Phase I, start the Import (Phase II). If Phase II is run before Phase I, the import fails with a message. For example, Unexpected EOF or Import of backup ID failed, fragments are not consecutive.

To import backup images, Phase II

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management > Catalog.

  3. Select the image(s) you want to import and select Actions > Import.
