I've followed the steps that you've posted and it seems to have worked for the most part.
The only way I can see all the backup selections however, is to go thru the "Restore Job Wizard". If you don't go thru the wizard and simply click on "Restore" only some of the selections show up. Is this what you meant by "you may need to inventory each volume"? If so, it seems that we'll have to inventory each tape which would be quite time consuming. Have I done something wrong or is this just the way it is?
In addition, we have a Snap Server running Gaurdian OS 4.2.054 which is basically a modified Linux Kernel. In 11d, after the upgrade process some weekly full backup catalogs that reference the Snap server are duplicating various directories listed in that particular catalog. Some of these duplicate directories have the same contents but some have only partial contents compared to the other. It only seems to affect Full backups that were on the Snap server and not all of them are like this. I have gone back and compared these same catalogs on the server running BE 8.6 and they only list the particular directory once. Differential backup catalogs from this same server seem to be unaffected. From what I've seen everything else looks normal. Any ideas with this one?
I appreciate your help Ken. You've been timely and effective.
Thanks also to Joshua and anyone else who provides help
