Restoring And Reindexing Archives From Tape Drives (4275662)

If a customer archives data for a set period of time and then saves the archived data to a tape drive how is the data from the tape drive restored and re-indexed so that data can be searched and retrieved.

In order to restore an archive from a tape drive:

1. Logs for each day are stored in a different folder.
2. Restore the required folder from the tape drive to the archive.
3. Restart syslog-ng and the restored logs should appear on the search interface.

Please note that this use case has not been tested by One Identity and there may be unforeseen issues with that.

Reindexing should not be required as index files are stored with the logstore files and will be restored along with the data. However, if for some reason it is required the following KB article details how this is done.
