Windows Server 2003, Version Netbackup 6.5.
I have an issue where looks back in 2009, month end backups failed and were run the following week. This weekly tape seemed to have been used in a month end 3 months later.
the data i am looking for is in the catalog, and is requesting a tape that is in 3 months later.
however - when i load the tape and do an inventory - it see's the tape but the label appears to be wrong.
I can see the tape F801L4, however in the backup and restore details it is requesting tape LAF801 - which is strange as that is the barcode and not the media ID.
So i have gone to Catalog - run an initiate import - phase 1 starts and then gives the following error:
"Media mounted has media id of LAF801, but F801L4 was requested. Must add LAF801 to media manager volume database and retry. Staus = cannot perform specified media import"
We also have a new system in place - netbackup 7.5. on Windows 2008 Server. I thought since there will be no record in the catalog of this tape i would manually import it into the new system and see if there is any data i can get off of it.
It wont import into this system either. Run the admin console as admin, gone to do an initiate import again.
"media F801L4 was not found in the volume manager database. It must be added to the volume manager database before it can be imported. Status = requested media id is not assigned to this host in the EMM database"
I am lost as to how i can see if there is any data on this tape i can pull off?
Any suggestions or if you need more info please let me know
Many thanks
