This speeds rebuilding of the Catalog by only requiring the last piece of media belonging to the Tape Media Set to be scanned by Retrospect. The Fast Catalog Rebuild op- tion can also be used on Disk Media Sets that don’t have grooming turned on. does this mean that i only have to 'rebuild' the last tape of every media set?

Lennart_T Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 does this mean that i only have to 'rebuild' the last tape of every media set? If you had that option set, yes, you need only the last tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
