Figure 21: Server-independent restores.
• Two or more servers are sharing a robot, each with connected drives. When a restore is requested, one of the servers is
temporarily inaccessible. Under direction of the master server, any available server in the storage domain can be used to
restore the file.
• Two (or more) servers have standalone drives of the same type. When a restore is requested, one of the servers is
temporarily inaccessible. The operator can mount the tape in a drive connected to any available server and restore the file.

the time required to resume normal business operations in the event of a site failure.
