Media catalog problem

Lechu54

Hello

I have plenty of old backups on media tapes. I would like to catalog one them to see content.
After launching catalog job on specific tape - it runs a while and asks me for another tape (i don't know why)
During this job BE has changed tapes many times and catalog process is still not finished.
How to start catalog job on a single tape ?

Kind Regards

You must uncheck the option "Request all media in sequence" from Tools - Options - Catalogs.

This will now make Backup Exec look for other connected media's which were used during the backup and allow you to catalog one tape at a time.

Unfortunately

Option "Request all media in sequence" is already unchecked. - BE2012 still asking for other tapes.

Hi

 

It would be good to make a new catalog folder in backup exec directory & then perform inventory & catalog the tape & check if that helps

 

Thanks

Hi Considering the situation all your above comment ,please do duplicate job from tape to disk which will recreate the catalog ,now if this also fails then please check for hard read and write error on tape drive and tape used for catalog, also it could be the thing that for your backup verify was not selected. So try duplicating it first and let me know Thanks.

How is he going to duplicate the tape when he cannot catalog it?
