Agent restore of Windows 2000 Server

I am trying to run a restore from an agent backup of a Windows 2000 server. I keep getting the error:
"The data being read from the media is inconsistent
This happens from backups from new media. It restores 650 MB to 1.3 GB and then just fails. Any ideas?
I am also trying to restore to dissimlar hardware. Cannot use Live State Recovery as the server hangs on reboot.

you wont be able to recover and entire system to different hardware. Backup Exec is not a migratio product. So if you restoreing user data your fine, but entire system no..when you reboot you will most likely get BSOD.

You errror about the media try the following:

Goto Tools - options - catalogs - and uncheck the box to use storage based catalogs


Stop the backup exec services and rename program files\veritas\backup exec\nt\catalogs folder

Catalog the tape again and then try the restore
