twinter Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Panther has been so reliable that I have not needed to restore any data until today. But now that I need it, my carefully planned back-up scheme will not work. Specifically, I use Retrospect to restore a subset of my data. It asks me to put in tape #2 to read in the selected files. Unfortunately, in the "Please insert tape #2 window", it says that Tape # 2 is erased. Obviously, I never erased this crucial tape with data on it. In addition, in the configure window, Retrospect tells me that Tape #2 has 13.0 G on it and that it was last accessed on 12/21/03 (I'm on Tape #4 now). The whole process seems to have been working great on my twice-a-week backups. If anyone can help me find my "lost" data, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!

natew Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hi Do other tapes show up as "erased" also? Can you restore data from them?@When you look at properties for the tape in the members tab does it have an asterisk by it's name? It could be a bad tape, it could also be a labeling mixup. Are there any other tapes with the same name in your other set? Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
