ggirao 47 Report post Posted March 24, 2014 Hello all, I'm restoring big data from a 4 TAPES LTO media set with about 1 year old, and on 2nd attempt from restoring all data the restore process doesn't go further on 3rd TAPE. It keeps saying reading and I waited about 1 day long. I also tried to rebuild catalog from the media set, but I get an error when I have to select folder of catalog destination. Any clues?

ggirao 47 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Update. I successfully started the Rebuild catalog process (moving the desired 3rd tape to drive) and is about 4GB and still doing (since 10PM last night). The weird stuff is the drive shows as idle (on monitor from the tape drive) and retrospect is like hanged. I still left it running because i see the retro engine process running and the new catalog file is still increasing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ggirao 47 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Update2. Now the process is running with drive reading. IT Already swap the tape for another one.I Hope that now is ok. PS - Catalog file is huge, is about 14GB and still increasing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will compress the catalog the next time you do a backup to this media set, by at least 50%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
