QUestion about Backup Sets (BE 2012)

[William_Lawance]

Hi,

Refer to attached capture, is it normal ??

Thanks

[pkh]

What do you think is wrong with them?

[William_Lawance]

left panel not see the backup in E: and F:, but right panel can

Abnormal ?

[pkh]

To me, if I can do a restore from the backup sets in the right panel, I will treat this as a cosmetic problem, but if you want, you can go to the BE installation directory and use BEUtility to repair the BEDB and see whether that makes a difference.

[William_Lawance]

This means may be DB problem ?

[pkh]

It may or may not be.  To delve further into the cause of the problem, you need to log a formal support case with Symantec.

Since I want to delete 26/1 data from tape, but not all backup date shown

[Colin_Weaver]

If your tape contains more than 1 set of backup data then you can't just delete that one set of data you have to in effect delete all the backup records on the tape. Also if you do want to delete the data, either overwrite or erase the tape and all of the backup sets on the tape will have their catalogs removed form Backup Exec (so will no longer show in restore selections) at the time of the erase/overwrite.

Note1: Disk works differently from above description so I hope you have not mixed up the word 'tape' with othe backup storage types

If the backup set is not shown in the BE console then it is probably not in the catalog. You can move the tape to the scratch media set and overwrite it if it is the only backup set on the tape
