Recovering backup exec 2010

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering about the following scenario:

I have backup exec 2010 installed on a server, in which some files are backup from this server to a tape. I was wondering if this servers crashs, What would be the best way to recover the data. 

Im asking this because i'm not quit sure if my backup exec has been setup correctly in order to get the data back from the tape, in case i need to install everything from scretch.

Just a preventive question.

Many thanks for the support.

Regards,
