Duplicate of tape image not showing in Catalog

Anthony1238
Level 2

I needed to make a copy of an existing tape that was a SLP duplicate of a previous job. I only have one tape drive so I made a duplicate from the tape to disk, I searched caltalog to make a another copy of the image and It is not there. the origional backup was on disk for 1 month and a SLP (shown as Copy 2 below) went to tape for 1 year. The duplicate of Copy 2 I made is showing as Copy 1, I'm assuming i can't see it in the catalog is due to the media date  12/31/1969 7:00:00 PM (0) , Does anyone know what is causing this issues or how to change that date? I can see the image on the disk still.

Sure the duplication to disk was successful? 

To same disk as original copy or a new/different disk?

Images under SLP can normally not be duplicated manually.

Try the duplication again from cmd and let us know the result:

bpduplicate  -backupid xxxxxxx004.xxx.corphq_1412285834 -dstunit <disk-STU> -L <path\logfile.txt>

1) In the 'Catalog' search, when searching for Copy '1', what disk type have you selected?

2) What is the maximum number of copies?      bpconfig -L | find /i "copies"

I ran another duplicate job via that command and it ran but would still not show in the catalog again.

I ran a bpdbm -consistency 1, then 2 and I can see it in the catalog and can create another duplicate (4) to tape now with an accurate Media date. 

Although my Try to keep time is still 12/31/1969

The Try to Keep is a red herring. If this was not specified, NBU will put some bogus date in the field. Your duplication was successful and recorded in the catalog as per your post above.
