in case the sessions you are looking for have already been purged from the staging area (depeding on your staging - purge policy), then you will need to bring back the tapes.

I am using CA Arcserve 12 to backup to disk then to tape (D2D2T). When I chose a restore, I get an error that the session has no details, Do you want to merge the session now?<br />

I understand how to do this from tape, but can it be done from the disk staging? Our tapes are offsite and I would like to be able to restore a file without pulling the tapes back in house.

How do I merge catalog in Arcserve 12 from disk staging / not tape.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
