The maximum size for a backup set was exeeded - unable to restore data

Did you delete the old catalogs before re-cataloging the media ?

Yes, I did.

Hi

Right now are you doing restore from tape or disk

if you are doig restore from tape duplicate job to disk first & then try doing restore & see if that works

Hi,

What version of BE did you use to back up that Information Store in the first place? Also consider running LiveUpdate and installing SP1 for BE 2010 R3 if not already installed.

Delete the catalogs, recatalog the tape and try again.

If you need help on how to duplicate to disk, read my article below:

Thanks!

Hi,

we do a restore from tape. I duplicated to disk and run the restore from there -> no success.

Hi,

I should have been Ver. 2010 R2 when we took the backup. I tried your steps - unfortunately without any success.

Hi

Can you post the failed job log & also events in application tab of event viewer

Thanks

...might be worth your while to do the upgrade to BE 2010 R3 and install BE 2010 R3 SP1 after that. Once done, try the restore again...
