KenBrey Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I am attempting to perform a transfer of an old backup set to new media so I can decommission my old tape drives. I have already transfered about 6 sets to my new set. My destination tape set has just one member, and it is in the drive and succeeds when I perform a Media Verification on it. However, when I attempt a transfer to it again, Retrospect asks for #1 of my destination set, even though it is in the drive. It does not want to proceed with transfer. Any ideas?

Lennart_T Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Is the name of each backup set unique? What if you eject the tape, start the transfer and insert the tape after Retrospect asks for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blm14 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 What version are you using? There was a bug with V7.6 around asking for a tape that was already in the drive that plagued me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenBrey Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 blm14, I am using 7.7.620. I was able to resolve the issue by re-cataloging the destination tape set. After that it let me add more data to it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have been given an error in the log when the media set was corrupted. Or did you have a power outage and no UPS? Or did the server crash? Anyway, I'm glad you solved your problem.
