Unable to catalog

[dori_bashan]

I want to restore data from an old backup

the original backup was made in BE 2010, and i want to restore on BE 2014

i have insert the tape to the auto loader and started a Catalog operation

I have inserted only the desired tape. other tapes of the backup set are offline as they are not inside the auto loader

After cataloging 400 GB, the catalog stauts became - Active   - Queued  - Catalog

and the tape was ejected.

the tape got a weird icon on the storage page

picture attched.

What does this icon means?

what can i do in order to catalog the tape?

You may need to inventory the tape before you can catalog it.

Also the icon with a red line through a pencil means you have slid the physical write protect tab across on the tape. (which is a very good idea, in fact best practice, as if you are trying to restore you do not want to let a backup job accidentally overwrite it)
