Symantec backup Exec 11d

Hi

Go to Restore tab & then expand the server for which you want to do restore & then click on items you want to restore once the item is selected if you click on view by media , you will come to know the bkf file used for the backup done

So you can restore from the bkf file

Thanks

Restore settings and procedures can differ on a number of factors but in summary:

FIle > New restore job.

Restore selections will be listed either by resource, or media if it still exists in the catalog.  Media may need to be catalogged if it has since been trunacted.

Step through the settings, ensure you remember to redirect the restore set if you do not want to overwrite the existing files.

Hi ,

Backup job is failing stating Alert

Please insert overwritable media into the robotic library using the import command.

Jobshistory shows - 

e000e020 - The job was scheduled to run, but the availability window closed before the job could start. There may not have been any destination devices available during the window, or the job may have been submitted to run when the window was closed.

I usually quick erase the old slot under Devices-Robotic libraries-Slots to fix this,  but now when i do this , its sitting under current jobs stating Ready: no idle devices are available,

Job status for Scheduled backup jobs are showing up as Ready;No idle devices are available.

Please help.

If the backup is sitting in the state you mentioned, that means the robitice library is currently not available.

Is there another job running on the library?

Did the library go offline in BE?

Hi Biker_Dude,

Thanks for your response!

Library is not offlice, no backup job running at present.. 

Hi ,

Please find the attached screenshot for your reference,

You should have opened a new discussion as this is a new query from the original.....

Does your library or tape drive show an active connection to it under the devices tab? Little green arrow on device.

If it does, you may need to power cycle power library\tape drive and server depending on its connection type i.e. SCSI to clear this.  Seen this a lot on BE11d.

Also could try manualy offline\disable and re-enable device on the properties.

A screenshot of the devices tab would be good.

thanks for the info, after tape drive restart,job status changed to scheduled from ready;no idle devices are available, but when it try to run a test run the job disappeared stating to insert overwrittable media so i tried deleting the old slots but the job erase library shows no ready; no idle devices are available,  please help

Did you power cycle the server after as well?
