Restoring bkf files only

I have many bkf files that I need to create a restore from. In a new installation of backup exec 2010 I created a new backup to disk folder and movedthe bkf files in there. I then did an inventory which ran successful. I then did a catalog on all the bkf files, the job ran for hours then failed with:

Final error: 0xe0000900 - The requested media is not listed in the media index and could not be mounted. To add the media's catalog information to the disk-based catalogs, run an inventory operation on the media and resubmit the Catalog operation.
Final error category: Backup Media Errors

For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-2304

What can I do to get this data restored?

Thanks.

    those bkf files used to belong to a previous backup exec server, its just a new Windows folder with all the bkf files in them. I moved them into the back-up-to-disk folder that was created. I just renamed the original catalogs folder to catalog_old and restarted the services and read an article where it said to uncheck the "Use storage media based catalogs" and I also unchecked ""Request all media in the sequence for catalog operations".

    Hi,

         You can create a Backup to disk folder on the old location from the new server.

     

    Thanks

    Rahul,

    Please explain, I do not understand what you mean. There is no old location. Just a new backup exec server with bkf files from a previous backup exec server that I need to restore.

    Thanks.

    ...how will this even begin to help the OP?

    Or is this a shot in the dark suggestion?

    Thanks!

    Inspite of the error while cataloging, have you attempted to perform a restore?
