Understanding the Catalog
I'm having some difficulty understanding the Catalog. My minimum requirements are to be able to restore from B2D for 1 month and be able to see at least 3 months in the catalog (for Tape) in order to...
Hi,
That setting is made going-forward...it doesn't do it restrospectively on any old catalogs. If these are confirmed as no longer needed, you could delete them!
If you can't restore from that date, the tape might be overwritten or the incorrect date selected in the restore range.
Thanks!
When you truncate the catalogs, only a stub remains to tell you that you still have that backup set on your media. However this stub does not have all the information for a restore. To restore from such a media, you need to run a catalog job against the media.
