Hi
The best place to run the catalog will be by going to devices tab ,look for b2d and in that you will see bkf files ,so you can catalog the entire b2d folder or the required files.
Edited , Also have a look at the link below,
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH142684
Hope that helps.
Thanks
Sorry, Iwas away - so I went to the job monitor and found a successful backup job from Jul 14 that I want.
That job used B2D folder 1 so then I went to Devices and found the folder caled B2D 1 and now I'm running an inventory on that folder .... is that the same as a catalog?
Inventory & catalogs are two different operations...p.s. - if the above links redirect you to the main page, just enter the article id (for egs TECH142684) in the search bar ..
So the inventory ran but there's no change to the stuff in the restore pane.
Here is the job log:

So when I go to the restore pane - I don't see that date listed. Obviously I'm doing something worng.
You don't have to do any inventory or catalog jobs if it is a recent job and the data is not ovewritten. Go to the Job Setup tab and create a new restore job. In the selection list screen, for your server, you would see a bunch of backups. Expand the one that you want and select the files/folders to restore. See the screenshot below (View by Resource)
Make sure the Beginning Backup Date is either unchecked or go back far enough to encompass the backup that you want.
Well when I try the restore tab I don't see any of the compleated jobs - so I'm starting to wonder if the backups are OK. How can I go find that job that I posted earlier?
I want to run a catalog and try to find the data from that compleated job log that I posted above - the date again is - Sat July 14.
I don't know how to run a catalog ..... - how do I do that ?
OK, I opened my BKUPEXEC 10.0 I clicked on the Restore tab .... then selections ...then the All Resources window .... in there I drilled down to the name of the server that has the backup I want by clicking on the +'s.....
This is the server called MOM1 and it has our users "Home" drives and the users "Finance" drive on it on the E:\ drive..
Under the MOM icon when I open it I see the E:\ drive that has the data on it and then two dates and two backup jobs that say Finance which is fine becasue there IS a job called that. Here's one ...
8/25/2012 - 12:19:22 PM - Snapshot Full - B2D002886 - Set 151 - Finance Share
However I DON'T see anything in that same window that shoudl have the "Home" job on it and yet the job monitor tab shows the job succesfuly running and compleating!
