Re: Unable to catalog old media
Update: I was able to restore the data from tape with the manufacturer's driver as well as windows backup/restore utility. I've heard be6 is what windows used for backup but a slimmed down version... Still curious why the new one wasn't able to catalog though. If anyone has ideas for me to try let me know.112Views0likes0CommentsUnable to catalog old media
I have 3 tapes that I need to restore data from. I can get them to inventory and catalog without error, but when I the restore data option I get this error: "the selected media was not found in the catalogs. You must first catalog the media if you want to use it for restore options." I searched some of the forums, but I feel that searching for cataloging media will give me other errors and searching for "cataloging media that has been cataloged" won't work to find a solution. The server I have setup now is a new server. The old one was formatted. I am running an eval version of 11d until I get our license... The media shows up in imported media>backup exec and windows nt backup media Thanks for you helpBacking up backup exec settings
I have just finally configured a virtual server with a trial (license purchase just around the corner) of BE 11d for windows 2003 and all of my settings are on that machine. Due to trouble getting the tape drive recognized, I have installed another trial on a physical machine. Is there an easy way to export all the backup exec settings and jobs and preferences? I am thinking I could back up the system state or the program files and restore that to the new server, but want to avoid that as I'm guessing it might not work. I looked through the menus and wizards, but found nothing that I could see - I searched the help and forums, but any search I do results in someone's post about a different backup job with the software, not how to backup the software. Is this part of the Intellegent Disaster Recovery option? How do I get that to be not grey'd out on my menus if so...? Thanks for your help380Views0likes8Comments
