demani Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I want to rebuild a set (the original catalog corrupted) spread over 18 LTO-3 tapes. Tape 6 appears to be bad, and as a result every catalog rebuild results in a failure (there is an error, with the option to save or quit, but either option stops the repair). Ideally, I'd like to try to rebuild the catalog using tapes 1-5 and 7-18. But I cannot figure out either A) how to skip a tape in the middle of the rebuild, or how to start a rebuild from Tape 7 (so I would have two catalogs). This was an archive so there isn't any data duplication within the set. Any suggestions on a workaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twickland Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Run the catalog rebuild up to the point of failure, or at least until a few files have been read from tape 6. Stop and save the partial catalog. Then perform an "update existing catalog" operation. Retrospect will ask for tape 6; click on "Choices..." and tell Retrospect that member #6 is missing. Insert tape 7 and you should be on your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
