"Initializing robotic library, please wait" loop

[JustinY]

Hello,

I'm trying to restore a server from a Full backup Using BE 2010 with IDR. I've used the .DR file and applied the volumes from the backup, selected my B2D folder and proceeded to recover. At first I could see on the "Restoring Data" status screen that libraries were been initialized and used. So I let this run over night and this morning when I came in I just see an endless loop of "Initializing robotic library, please wait" and "Rewinding media". Any idea why it's doing this?

Regards,

Justin

1) Did you backup your data onto tapes or B2D folders?

2) Did you select automatic recovery?

I backed up to B2D folders on a USB Drive. I did use the automatic recovery.

During the restore process, is the USB drive attached to a media server or to the server that is to be restored?

I did successfully test an IDR restore with BE 2010, but my restore was from tape attached to a media server.

It's attached to the server that is been restored.
