Restoring backups from Backup exec 12.5 - Going back a long ways...

Hi Team,

I've been given a box of tapes to try and dig out some pretty old data. The most info I have to go is a support ticket logged with an old IT provider mentioning bexec 12.5, from around the time of the dates printed on the tapes.

I've downloaded and installed Backup Exec trial  and it' sees the tapes but I don't see any way of opening, retoring, reading the contents.

Is anyone able to lend me a hand? I would be most appreciative, even for some breadcrumbs to follow!

Thanks,

ITGuy2

The key was to run a cataloge on the tape media and whamo, the backup was revealed and could be restored.
