"unable to create selection list"

[DJ2liveUK]

Here's the deal:

I have a restore job that I need to do. Got to get at one directory. I can see the directory, but when creating the restore job I get "unable to create selection list".

Veritas / Symantec say to upgrade my version which is 10.1d rev 5629 fully patched.

I am in the process of re-cataloging the media which is currently on 8.5 hrs.

Anyone else had this problem?

The Backup Exec database is corrupt.

Hi steveot,

After the cataloging, the issue is still apparent. How do I go about fixing the Backup Exec Database please?

You have to drop the existing database and reload from backup or base. You will probably lose all your jobs setting/media sets. Catalogs will be retained.

When you go thru this technote try a reload from backup first. Then try the base.

Thanks steveot. I had the great misfortune of applying the SQL server patch which completed foobar'd the whole backup exec program. I spend last Friday reinstalling from scratch and recreating the database from base. I have managed to keep the catalogs, though they will need to be reprocessed in due course.

Thanks for your help again.
