Did a catalogue restore, but seem to have missing information.
So I did a catalogue restore (full one) which honestly I felt went sideways. It said it finished partially but the only errors I could find were IOC_CHFLAG_SET errors. I had my profiles, on the file system the DB was backup to it's 375GB range. So I assumed all the data was loaded. When I login to the JavaGUI, ALL my volume pools are gone ALL my tapes are in 1 pool now. Is this normal? Because on the old system We had volume pools for each job which had tapes in it (We don't backup daily, we archive data so it goes on tape once and that's it so I believe that's why they used volume pools when they set it up ages ago). Either way. It just feels to me like I'm missing Data, and I'm not sure what to do now. I've opened a ticket but I'm running out of hours I can say "it's good let's test" vs "we need to roll back" (Let's just say it's been a long week getting to this point).
Catalogue Reporting from Backup Exec 12.5
Hello time-travelers, No it's not 2010. No need to adjust your clocks. What's the easiest way to run a discovery report on the Backup Exec 12.5 catalogue please? Are there any native or 3rd party tools that could help the discovery? Looking for simple information about: * Names of clients with valid backup images in the catalogue. * Date ranges of valid backup images in the catalogue. * Any data restores performed in last 2 years. Background: We have a legacy Backup Exec 12.5 platform running on Server 2003 that's been sitting idle for a number of years. The last backup image was created about 2 years ago, so it definitely has valid images. We have finally decided to decommission the old platform, but our Risk team wants to know what data is still being held on backups before they'll sign off on the "early" destruction. Thanks in advance for any advice.
