Catalogs
I'm looking for data on a job that was run last month. When I try to look at the tape that holds the information, BE tells me that I have to catalog the files on the media before I can use it to do ...

Hi there,
You have a setting within BE itself that expires catalogs and it does this to save space. The default is 60 days unless shortened or lengthened by an admin.
If your tape needs to be catalogged, it means its data has expired from with BE. Right-click the tape, run the catalog job and let it finish. Once done, you can do the restore, but select the correct date range...for some reason BE likes picking its own date range.
Thanks!
