Hello,

I have an issue with Symantec Backup Exec 12.5, where a catalog has somehow been lost now I have come to re-catalog the backup it fails.

The backup is over six tapes, all tapes are present and show up in the autoloader tape drive.

When I attempt to catalog the first tape in the set of tapes it will catalog all the data then fail with the following error;

Error: E0000900 – The requested media is not listed in the media index and could not be mounted. To add the media’s catalog information to the disk-based catalogs, run an inventory operation on the media and resubmit the Catalog operation.

For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-2304;

The link explains about having the media present when cataloguing the media but it is so this must be something different, hopefully someone has seen this before.

Many Thanks for any help on this...
Karl

Hello,

I found a solution to this issue.

What I did was to retire the media once retired and I deleted the media from the retired media set.

I then preformed an inventory to re-add the media to the Backup Exec once completed I placed the media back into the correct media set and preformed a catalog which was successful.
