Restoring Tapes to Media Pools After Accidental "Remove from Catalog"

[lorqnz]

Hello community,

I accidentally selected the "Remove from catalog" option for three of my tapes, and now I'm wondering how I can get them back into my Media Pools. Could someone please guide me through the steps to restore these tapes?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Lorenz

Please inventory and catalog your tape. That will make it and the backups on it visible again in the backup console.

- https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120

It's possible that after those two procedures, the tape won't be in the same pool. If so, wait till the tape has expired and then move it to the media pool:

Please note, if you move the tape to the Media Pool, content on the tape will get automatically erased. That's why you should wait till the tape has expired.

Best,
