recover data from newly attached storage

Hi

I have two Windows Servers with Backup Exec 2012 SP3 (MS Hyper-V VMs) installed, the first one is the productive Server, while the second one will be started only when the first Server is down.

The backups are stored to harddisk based storages and in the worst case, I’ll detach this storage to attach it to the second Backup Server before starting it.

In my test, Backup Exec on the second Server detects this newly attached storage with no user interaction, but since it’s database is empty, there is no data which I can restore.

Is there a way to restore data from a newly attached disk based storage with no database content?
