theboyk Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have two a backup set that spans across two LTO-4 tapes. The data across these two tapes easily fits on a single tape, but because Retrospect is reporting "errors", it's now spanned across two tapes. What's the best practice for consolidating the data from these two tapes back into a singe (new) tape, retaining all the catalog information, etc? Thanks, Kristin.

twickland Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 You'll need to create a new tape media set. If you have access to two tape drives, you can then perform a Copy Media Set directly from the old tape media set to the new one. If, however, you have only one tape drive, you'll need to create an intermediate Disk Media Set and copy from the old tape set to disk and then from disk to the new tape set. Given the potential hassles, you may prefer to put up with keeping the two tapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
