Changing your restore device source
By default, SCO ARCserve/Open looks for tapes in the first tape device group. However, you can have SCO ARCserve/Open restore from another device group on your host. In addition, you can:
- specify another session number from the tape
- change the time SCO ARCserve/Open waits for the correct tape to be inserted into the drive
You may want to change your device group if another group is already being used for a job. Or, you may want SCO ARCserve/Open to wait for a longer period of time before cancelling a job to give you more time to find the right tape.
If you want to use a drive that is from another tape device group, follow the steps below:
- In the Restore Manager, click

The following window displays:

- Make any changes and click OK.
