Hi

I am currently busy with a DRP exercise and is restoring 2 backup jobs from a LTO1  tape. I am using backup Exec 10d. When I catalog the tape, only my second job is catalogued 113gig. My exchange information store, 30gig backup job shows 0 bytes. According to backup exec on my live server both backup jobs ran successful. The first backup job is set to overwrite and the second job is set to append only.

Please assist

Thanks
Ivan

Verify that you have all of the tapes that are needed for the restore.  There could be a tape missing from the original backup.  Go to the job history of the Backup Set that is missing restore data and see if any tapes are missing.

Thanks for responding

Thanks for responding promptly. It is a full backup that uses a single tape. It consist  of 2 backup jobs and it does not make sense that it catalogues only the one backup jobs data size 113gig.The second job is the exchange information store 30gig and does not reflect when the tape is catalogued. I have used a brand new tape and I have catalogued it in Backup exec 12 getting the same result.

RE: Thanks for responding

Sure sounds like the second job is overwriting the first on teh tape

If you go the server that created the tape,can you see data from  the first backup in the catalog?

The second job is set to

The second job is set to append, so it is not set to overwrite. I can clearly see the data has been successfully backed up on the first exchange job = 30gig.
