Hi,

One of my collegue changed saturday pool location. Then suddenly all previous media back up dates are showing empty.

Kindly find an attachment for your reference and let me know how to identify date wise tapes for data restoration.

Since the time assigned is blank, NetBackup believes the tape to be blank with no current images. Were the images on these tapes expired?. You could reimport a tape and see what data is on it. TECH43584

Also if a job has failed to write to tape then the time assiged would be blank.

Exact same issue in 3 months?

As per my post in your previous forum thread - it sounds as if your colleague have expired all media in order to change the pool.
Volume pool cannot be renamed while tapes in that pool have valid data.

If tapes have not been overwritten, you can import the tapes.
If tapes have been overwritten, all previous data is lost.
