I have some tapes that were backed up using Backup Exec (version 9 - I believe). I need to restore some files off of these tapes. The tapes do not have barcodes. The library is an autoloader, bar code reader (HP Surestore 6/60). Any ideas on how I can do this?
Here is what I have done so far:
1. Put tapes in library and run inventory
2. Run vmphyinv.exe -rn 0 -ml media_id:<tape_id> -h <server>
3. Ran vmchange –m <tapeid> –barcode <barcode>
4. Used wizard to do phase I import
Problem is the tapes never get loaded into the tape drive.
