BE16: Duplicate, identical media-id on different tapes
Hi, for one backup server I recognized, that there are several tapes, that have an identical Media-ID (German: Medien-ID). Reading up the manuals I can only find statements telling, that it's impossible to modify the Media-ID. The result of this situation is, that these at least three groups of 2 or 3 tapes are the exactly same tape from the point of view of BE16, even though they are physically different tapes. here: Tape "January" and "February" are one "pair-of-identical-IDs", so are "March" and "April", and "June", "July" and "August". Q1: How is ist possible, that this happens at all? Q2: Howto fix the wrong (identical) Media? Q2a: Or if this is not possible with BE16, can I "low level format" with some tool running on Windows 2016 Server Standard, to get rid of these wrong, identical media IDs?

Restoring single VMDK
We've restored a single VMDK with it's VMX file to the backup media server, uploaded that to the ESX VM host, added it to a powered down server and attempt to power on the server, but get message: "Unsupported or invalid disk type 2 for 'scsi0:2'. Ensure that the disk has been imported." ... "Unable to create virtual SCSI device for 'scsi0:2' " Is there anything special I need to do when requesting the restore to have a usable VMDK file or a step after the restore from tape step? Was running BE16 at the time of restore for this example. Upgrading to 20.3 right now. But I doubt the process changed. Using vSphere web client Version 6.5.0.20000 Build 9451637 My goal is to get a file out of a VMDK based backup by attaching restored VMDK to a non-critical server. This has never worked for me, so I'm obviously doing something wrong.

[closed] Block level backup of encrypted VM
Hello, We have encrypted our VM thru the VM encryption module provided by VMWare since 6.5 version. As it is not supported by BE 16, we are doing now file level backup. Is there some news regarding an update of BE 16 that will allow block level backup with encrypted VM ?
