Failed restore from tape, strange error about network interface
Trying to restore a virtual machine disk from tape. I've cataloged the tape because it was older. Went through the restore wizard and selected to restore it to a different location which is actually a large drive directly attached to the BackupExec server. Next, next, Finish. It immediately errors out with this: The Backup Exec server was unable to connect to remote machine (null) because a network interface matching the selected Backup via Network parameters could not be found.
Um, what? It is literally the same server the Backup Exec software is running on. I don't see anywhere in the restore wizard that specifies a network interface. Not sure what is going on?
This has been resolved. I poked around Backup Exec and under the Settings \ Network and Security, the Network Interface field was set to "use any available interface" and the Subnet set to "use any available subnet". I modified both of those values to what they should be, then re-ran the restore job and it is working as intended. Not sure how those settings were reset back to default, but that appears to have been the issue.
