How to import a folder with BackupExec backups that BackupExec doesn't know about?

How to import a folder with BackupExec backups that BackupExec doesn't know about?

In BackupExec you have storage defined. I have a folder with BackupExec backups in a different location, how do I tell BackupExec about them?

It is NOT from a previous version of BackupExec.

  • You can add this folder as a Legacy Backup-to-Disk Folder.  After doing an inventory and a catalog job, you would be able to read from this folder.  You would not be able to write to this folder.

  • To add to PKH advice
    The Backup-to-Disk folder is in "read-only" mode to protect the data of being accidently overwritten.
    If you want to keep running backups to it, then you can change that under the properties of the device;
    "Limit Backup Exec to read-only operation".
