Re: Rman/Legato/Architecture

Fuad:

One of the problems that I always ran into with Legato was that it would backup to multiple tapes, but that it would restore from a single tape at a time. It has been several years since I have worked with the product, so that might have changed.

Having said that, we did get it to use multiple tape drives during a restore process by having a shell script that would parse the Legato database. I believe that I may have those in a tar/gzip archive somewhere on another system. It required us to get the various SSID's on the distinct tapes and build a shell script for each one. It was not a simple process, though once we had it scripted and documented it did go rather smoothly. If I can find then, then I will send them your way - maybe they will be helpful.

The short answer is "yes" you can do that, but it takes some work to set it up.

Someone else might have a better idea if the newer versions of Legato have a simpler way to get around this problem.
