Oh, and one more note. Depending on the size of the
depot and the server, restores from tape can be
extremely time consuming. For instance, if your depot
and build staging area are on the same machine, then
chances are they will be on the same backup tape or
set of tapes. Consequently, a depot restore could be
lengthy (over a day) if the backup system isn't
cataloged. And that translates into about two days
depot access denied. (A day to restore and 1/2 day to
figure out which checkpoint, journal file to use and
then rebuild the db* files.)
This is a good reason to do the p4 server backup on its
own tape, and to save the tape's table of contents off
tape somewhere other than on the server system.
