Looking for help with catalog of a tape. The tape was made in the same version of Symantec BU Exec. Version is 12. Is there a way around this.
Thanks.

What exactly is the problem with your catalog job?

If you're trying to catalog a tape and the job fails, please specify the error message generated in the Job Log.
Alternatively, you can also:
1. Check and make sure "Use storage media based catalogs" option is unchecked under Tools - Options - Catalogs - attempt to Run the Catalog job again.
or
2. Temporarily rename the Catalogs folder and see if that works:
Stop all Backup Exec services - Rename the C:\Program Files \Symantec\Backup Exec\CATALOGS folder (temporarily) - Start Backup Exec services - Inventory the drive - Attempt to run a Catalog job and see if it works.
Note: Renaming the Catalogs folder will temporarily remove all the existing catalog informaiton from Backup Exec. However you can roll back to the previous stat by Stopping BE services - Re-instating the original Catalogs folder which you renamed earlier - Starting all BE services.

If you mean "Can a tape not catalog if it is full?"
No, that cannot be the reason for tape to not catalog.
