BEWS 11d 7170 SP4 + hotfixes to date
BEWS mainly backs up three servers -- a W2003 file server (the media server itself), W2003 Domino & W2000 Citrix.
The main backup device is an external Ultrium 2 tape drive (200/400). Recently I've added an external USB hard disk to complement the tape drive.
I haven't finalized a strategy for using both devices, but right now three tape jobs run (all "copy" jobs) then the same copy jobs are run again, but to the disk.
The first backup-to-disk job to run is the media server itself, then the Domino & Citrix backup-to-disk jobs.
For Domino & Citrix, the backup & restore work fine.
The media server backup indicates a successful job, but when I go to restore, there's no indication of that backup. However, the backup from the tape job is shown. Why doesn't the (indicated as) successful back-to-disk job appear in the restore selections even though the tape job appears there?
Thank you,
Jim

Even though the additional backup jobs were appended to the B2D folder, they were apparently overwriting some part of the media server job, making restoration impossible.
