Hi all!
I'm using BE 11d (fully patched and updated) with an Exabyte Autoloader (10 tapes). All of the tapes have bar codes and the backups complete successfully. When trying to restore, BE goes into "Queued" status, asking me to import the specific tape. It's already in the autoloader so I click the tape and import it. That also completes successfully and the properties of the tape show the correct used/free space. Retrying the restore again results in the same scenario, over and over.
Then I erased all of the catalog files, exported all of the tapes, reimported them, catalogued the specific tape for the restore (completed successfully with correct byte count) then recreated a new restore job (either by resource or by media) by right-clicking on the media. The tape backup date corresponds to the date of the files I want to restore. Same result: "Please import media blah blah blah...". Next step could be to maybe change all of the bar code stickers to something never used, inventory and import the media, catalog it and try again but I have my doubts...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dave
