disaster recovery problem

James_Michaud
Level 2
Recently, our office caught fire and our server was destroyed. It was running windows 2000 server with backup exec. Version 8.5 or 9 I can�t remember exactly. I backed up to a Travan tape drive. I now have a new server with windows 2003 and backup exec 10.1. When I put in the old tapes to try to recover data, all of the tapes show as �Unknown Media� Is there any way to get this version of backup Exec to recognize the old data?

I tried that. It didn't work. The Inventory goes through the process but doesn't seem to render any results. Then when I run the catalog, I get the following error: Invalid Physical Volume Library Media Identifier
