I've got a Win2003 server uptodate with BackupExec10.1d rev 5629 and Qantum DLT VS160 drive.
I tried to restore some data from a recent backup that was 100% successfull. after launching the restore the message given is "Media Unrecognized". I don't understand because the backup was good and if I look at the tape in an other server it says no data.
Does someone as an idea of how can I get back my data (I'm afraid it's lost) and why the backup repport says that everything were good but no data on?

Yes the inventory is good but when I launch the catalog fonction I get the error message : The job failed with the following error : invalid physical volume library media identifier.
The point is that I've got the same problems on all tapes which are on the DLT
You are correct, any data on those tapes is gone. The only Veritas solution to the "media unrecognized" warning is to re-label the tape (quick erasing the tape)
Sounds like the drive may be defective. Have you tried running the manufacturer diagnostics?
Stop the BE services then copy the CATALOGS folder to some other location and then rename the current folder to .old and then restart the services.
Then run a catalog job on this tape.
Let us know if this has helped in resolving the issue.
Hope it helps!
