Im remembering encountering that problem, I will do some research. In the mean time could you look at my question. I'll get back to you, thanks.

I work with Veritas Back Exec, on a Windows XP platform. I know I have to run an inventory everytime I import a backup tape, but how do I literally do it. I know I have to Right Click Slots, choose Inventory and click Run Now. However, there are about 3 icons named Slots. Do I choose the Slots icon directly underneath, in my case, Dell 5 (underneath that Slots I have Dell 6) or do I run an inventory on the Slots icon that appears on the upper right side of my screen, or do I run an inventory on the the individual Slot, in my case Slots 1, 2 and 3. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If a tape being used is in a media set other than what the job requesting it is targeted it to, if the media is overwritable, the job will move the media from one media set to another. Remember a media set is a target more than a source...and if a tape is overwritable and available, the job will use it and move it over to the targeted media set.

Hey Steve, not sure about that one.... thanks


Russ, that means i should re-target the backup? Is there a simple way to do this? thanks
