Drewrog Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I am trying to recover an entire disk. I have it backed up on an Overland Tape Lib. It backed up last night and then the RAID died this morning. When I try to restore the data, it goes thru the motions and then say "Insert 1-Week 1" Tape. It is right there in front of it. It also sees 2- ,3- ,4- and 5-Week 1. All the tapes it needs to restore the data. When I move the tapes around it does nothing but keeps asking for 1-Week 1. Mac OS Server - 10.3.x Retrospect 6.1.230 It has been working fine for the past 3+ years with no problems.... until now.

By "worked" do you mean that you have done successful test Restore operations on a regular basis, tests that include a Restore from this tape? - What kind of tape drive in the library? - What is the firmware/driver of the SCSI HBA ?

Every time the backup was asked to recover a file, it did. I am guessing about a dozen times. Test recovering files worked too. Right now I am rebuilding catalog from the tapes to see if it will recover files. It looks promising so far. Not able to see look right (rebuilding catalog) now but I think it is a LTO.
