IBM i series Data Recovery

IBM i series Data Recovery

 

Problem: One day we got a call from a new client in Texas.He had been away on vacation when their IBM i series (aka AS400) had died.It had been a long time since it was on IBM support.They were still using it for archive purposes and needed the data. They also noted that the machine had not been backed up recently but that the back-up tapes were in a box in the office.

Solution: We put together a basic recovery plan that included them sending us the tapes that they had. We reviewed the tapes, and noted that some tapes had failed. We gave them a list of what was available and we were able to reconstruct the data on our IBM i series.After we had recovered the data it was exported and converted into MS access database system for archival look-up purposes.
