recovery, it should not be used to manipulate directly the file stored on the backup server.
Doing so may lead to inconsistencies in the backup server management and result in
turning the archives unusable through backup server or even directly.
The EBaSrvDB.exe tool has to be executed on the same machine where the Backup
Server resides. The generated XML file can be located anywhere as long as the
EBaSrvDB.exe tool has the write access to it.
If a file with the same name already exists at the target location, it will be overwritten
without any warnings.
16.1.7 Tdbrepair.exe tool: rescan tapes and add information to Acronis
tape database
Syntax:
tdbrepair.exe /
•
The purpose of the Tdbrepair.exe tool is to rescan tapes and add tape information
into Acronis tape database. It is necessary when Acronis True Image Echo cannot
recognize any Acronis Tape Plugin backups on tapes, though the archive is mounted
in the RSM Import Media pool. The reason for this is when you are trying to
restore\validate an archive spanned over two or more tapes made by earlier versions
of Acronis True Image Echo (builds up to 8163) via Acronis Backup Server of the
latest version. This may also happen if Acronis tape database is corrupted or missing
(after Windows reinstallation, for example).
•
The tool establishes connection with RSM and mounts the tape. Then it rescans tapes
one by one and derives metadata from each tape. The metadata includes device ID,
archive type, creation time, program components that performed backup (Acronis
True Image agent, local version or the Backup Server), computer name, etc. After
that, the tool adds the received information to the Acronis database and sets up the
correspondence between tapes ID, the RSM GUID and Acronis tape database ID.
