Recover tape after removing it from the catalog

Post by danimooq »

Hello People,

I would like to help me with the following inconvenience, I have an IBM 3573-TL D.00 library and I removed a tape from the catalog but I could not recover it, could you tell me how to recover it.

Regards.

Hello and welcome to the community forums danimooq.

If the tape was removed from catalog you need to right click the tape (once it's loaded to the library and marked as online) and choose Catalog tape option. This will force Veeam B&R to read tape metadata and once it's done - you can restore the tape content. Cheers!

Hello DimaP,

I thank you for the prompt response, the tape you delete is ACV014L7 and lya does not register me in the library.

Daniel,

Can double check if this tape is loaded in the library? If it is loaded - right click the tape library and select tape inventory from the list of the actions. Once inventory is completed you should see this tape under the Unrecognized system media poo and there you can catalog this tape media.
