That mediaid just relates to the disk pool the backup is held in.

Each disk pool has a unique media id that is taken by every backup within that disk pool

Not sure why promoting to primary would be an issue - the backup id is the unique part

There is nothing to fix .. if you run the below command it will show you which disk pools you have and their associated mediaid (depending on your disk type):

nbdevquery -listdv -stype disktype

Where disktype is either PureDisk, AdvancedDisk or and OST type
