I have several tapes that I need to catalog on a fresh server but I can't.
The backup set used 2 tapes but the second tape is missing, I have 10 tapes #1. The thing is that I installed a new Server with Backup Exec 12.5, unchecked the "Use storage media-based catalogs" option and inventory/catalog a lot of this #1 tapes. When the catalog ends with error, saying that I need tape #2 as it should. But I can't access the data on the tape I have.
I'm sorry if i'm not clear in english.
Thanks,
Valentin

click on tools-options- catalog and uncheck the option request all media in the sequence for catalog operations.
Do the catalog again and check if you can see the restore view for it. If you get the error message but able to see everything in the restore for that tape you can ignore the error message.
Note: make sure you run the inventory before cataloging

I unchecked that option first thing, and I can see the resources that were backuped, but I can't check any of them to restore them. All check box at restore are grey.

You may try creating a new catalog folder and then re-catalog the tapes in question.
