Query
One of my client copied its image files(which was a Disk based backup) to a DVD couple of years ago now he wants to import it but failed in Phase-II. See the phase I and Phase II snaps.
Phase-I import Activity Monitor Status
Phase-I import Detail Status
When I search the backup to import the Catalog for phase-II I am facing the below error
Solved! Go to Solution.

Okay, could you provide the progress log of pahse 1 import,
if you dont have the log , you can run the phase 1 again and get the logs by below command..
bpimport -create_db_info -id <disk_path> -L <logfilename>
pleaes attach the log once done. and also detail status of the Import job from the activity moniter.

hi,
i just want to make sure that you started the Phase 2 as below.., mainly 5th point..
Once the "phase 1 import" completes, run the "phase 2 import".
1. Start the NetBackup Administration Console and go to the Catalog section.
2. Under Pathname:, enter the disk path used for the phase 2 import.
3. Select a date range for the images to import and click the Search button.
4. Select Backup IDs to import from the search results.
5. From the menu select Actions > Import to begin the phase 2 import.
6. Check the Activity Monitor for progress of the phase 2 import.

<<Edit>>
if you are sure about the above steps, please provide the progress log for phase 1 of Import..

3. Select a date range for the images to import and click the Search button.
As I clicked the search button as per the point # 3, I faced the error mentionedin my third snap above.

" couple of years ago "
Your date range is only for this year! You must specify the original backup date.

" copied its image files(which was a Disk based backup) to a DVD "
Copy the DVD image to Disk Storage Unit and then perform the import.
Remember to specify correct date range per my post above.

Firstly - your screenshot is too small - glad someone else was able to see anything.
Secondly - totally agree with Bill - copy dvd images to physical disk with read/write permissions.

=================================================================
After running the above bpimport command via command line, I am able to see the information under Catalog after pushing the Search button. Now I can Right Click on those information and can click on Import (which will initiate Phase-II). As per above I mentioned I feel that the Import procedure via GUI was not showing the information under Catalog for Import (Which will start Phase-II). This may be the issue of GUI is nt it ?
=================================================================
Phase-II job ran successful (Showing under Activity Monitor). As the restore successful I will mark Solution and Thumb too for all on precious support ;)

Data restored successfully. Thanks too all :)

I feel Bill's post was most appropriate: https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/not-able-see-images-executing-phase-ii-import#comment...
You can see from your progress log that backup date was 01/01/2010, but your phase II search criteria was for this year.
12-27-2012 12:11 AM
Marianne thanks for high lighting the specific area. But I also backed the date and did search too from 2009 to 2012 but did not worked for me. The thing which worked for me I mentioned.
12-27-2012 07:40 AM
I'm confused. You left it at 2012 and it worked? Or you changed it to 2009 and it worked?
12-27-2012 08:50 PM
Dont be confused Will. The picture I uploaded shows what you said. But as I said that I also tried with 2009(although I did not uploaded that picture) at my place but the problem was not resolved.
