Thanks Ken.
He did the backup in 6.11 and had the new 2000 box has been loaded with the 6.11 version. There is no 8.6 in the mix.
I am not "Skilled" in the Backup Exec use and might just be missing an obvious setting or preference.
When I attempt to restore, the tapre rewinds and starts reading but then gets that compression message.
I am attempting to restore to a new drive into a blank directory just so he can get access to his backed up documents and reference databases.
Anything you or anyone can suggest in this would be great.
Also, he does not have access to a new box or the NT 4.0 software so he is stuck trying to resolve this on a Windows 2000 Pro box.
