Renee Kelt Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I have a backupset that shows missing when i go into configure in Retrospect 6.1.138 members. I try to select it "2-backup set B (missing) to click on set found but the set found and set missing buttons are grayed out. Please let me know How do I fix this? I am sure this disk has the files I want, should I rebuild its catalog. The disk is showing up (unknown) when I put it in.

Mayoff Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 If you can't mark it as "found" then it was marked missing during a catalog rebuild. Perform a new catalog rebuild, inserting all backup members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Kelt Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ok thank you I i will try that today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Kelt Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think i found out how to do it. How long does the rebuild usually take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 a few hours depending on the amount of data and speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Dee Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 When trying to retrieve from backup it says "execution completed successfully" but it does not restore any files to the destination folder. The files show up with the little symbol beside them that means missing. This happened once before and I was able to go under Configure>Backup Sets>Configure>Members and click on "Set Found" But this time the button is dimmed. How did this happen?

Mayoff Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Did you do a catalog rebuild and skip one of the disks/tapes? You probably need to do a full catalog rebuild to recover the missing member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Dee Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I have never done a catalog rebuild – which is why I don't understand how this happened. So I guess the only solution is to do one? This backup set consists of two 320 Gb tapes! I am thinking this will takes hours and hours?

Mayoff Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 It will take a few hours per tape. If you can not mark the member as found, then the catalog file has a problem. tools>Repair>Recreate from tapes. When asked to save the new catalog file, I would not overwrite the current catalog file. Save the new one to a different folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Dee Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 just thought of something. I do have a backup of all of my catalogue files on another computer. Should I try to replace the catalogue on the backup computer with the original catalogue? do you think that would work? (does that make sense?)

Mayoff Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 you should look and see if it has the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol Dee Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 After replacing the catalog file in my Retrospect folder on the backup, it still says it is missing. Do you think I need to go to Tools>Repair>Update existing catalog file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol Dee Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 OK. I noticed only one of the two backup sets is missing so maybe it wont take as long as I thought. Thanks for your help Robin (Austin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
