Imported media reallocated as scratch
Here's my issue: We've used BE 10d for about a year, and I recently upgraded to 11d build 7170 and no patches / service packs applied. Now when I import media allocated by 10d to the 'Media Set 1...

It's glad to see somebody else is having the same problem. I've found out a couple more things about this issue. If you move a piece of media to a Backup Exec vault location, which is to say any place other than "offline" or your tape library, export the media, then re-import the media, Backup Exec will create a duplicate entry for that media. One entry has the media in the correct media set at the time you exported it. The second entry has the media set in the "Scratch (Overwritable)" media set. This pretty much renders useless the vault feature, which I think is essential, especially if you send tapes to an offsite facility. At this point, you must delete one of those entries. If you delete the wrong entry, you'll have to re-catalog that piece of media for the next time you want to use it. It's a hassle, and something that never occurred in v9.1, v10.0, or v10d. If there is anybody that has any input regarding this, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!
