Restoring from an alternate location
We have BackupExec 2010 and use iSCSI drives to backup our systems; from time-to-time, we copy backup folders from these locations to USB drive to safe archive keeping; our backups only go back to 2 ...
Hi,
You should never copy the B2D files to another location...rather create a duplicate job and duplicate the B2D files to another B2D. This maintains the catalogs and BE is aware of where the data is sitting, and allows you to do the type of restore you're currently trying to do.
As things stand BE isn't aware of this copy being done, and probably won't restore the data. You can try catalogging the B2D that contains the files you want to restore from and then try the restore, but this probably won't work either.
Thanks!

Reasons why copying backup to disk data files is NOT recommended.
You should ALWAYS duplicate your backup sets and not copy them.
