I need some help with the following message:
Backup Exec attempted to automatically reconfigure the newly discovered disk storage device for use, but the reconfiguration failed with the following error:
Physical Volume Library Database - duplicate key or index.
We were trying to reconnect and external drive to run a catalog and backup some more data to it. Windows Recognizes the device bur we cannot seem to be able to put it back online.
We are running Symantec Backup Exec 2012 V14.0 Rev 1798
Any help would be appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Jus wanted to tell you guys how I got a work around to get BE to recognize the drives back.
<dataPaths>
<path id=” “>\BEData\</path>
</dataPaths>
Hope this helps someone out there having the same issue.

Thanks Craig. This doesn't relly help me.
How do we go about deleting records in the DB?

Here is more info related to this issue...
When we plug in the external drive Windows is able to read it but we don't see it on BE. So, I tried to configure the device and I am able to see the device under Storage but it never fully configures. This is the message I get:
The job failed with the following error: Backup Exec is unable to create a backup-to-disk folder on the disk storage device. See the Job Log for details.
Any ideas on how to get this fix?
