Cataloging an older tape
Veritas Backup Exec 9 keeps information on backups it has performed in a series of tape catalogues. To save space, it
is common practice that older catalogue files may be deleted.
If data is held on an older tape the backup set information must nonetheless be catalogued before the tape can be used.
To do this, insert the tape in the drive then, in the Windows-based Backup Exec Administration Console, select the
Jobs...Utilities...Catalog menu and submit the catalogue job
The NetWare volume backup held on the tape will now appear in the list of media available to restore from. This is illustrated below.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: NetWare 6.0 Service Pack 5
After the application of service pack 5 (NetWare 6.0, SP5) Veritas Backup Exec restore jobs may fail with
multiple "insufficient privileges" warnings unless the volume quotas on the target volume being restored to are removed for the user concerned.
If for example you are restoring rr15's data on volume
USERS1, then in ConsoleOne locate that volume, choose 'Properties' and 'Users with Space Restrictions' and
remove user rr15 from the list that appears. Naturally, ensure volume quotas are restored after a successful restoration.
