Yes you will need to re-inventory and catalog the tapes. &nbsp;After the catalog completes you will be able to restore.

If I have a server running Backup Exec with a Tape drive and i destroy that server and connect the same tape drive and connect it to a new server with backup exec (same version), would I be able to recover the data I backed up?

Hi Guys

If I have a server running Backup Exec with a Tape drive and i destroy that server and connect the same tape drive and connect it to a new server with backup exec (same version), would I be able to recover the data I backed up?

Can I restore tape backups on backup exec if original server is gone?

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.

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
