Re: [Veritas-bu] media ID not unique in database (34)
I think I would have cried if it had been that easy after all of the time I've spent expiring tapes but that didn't work either. There's 200 total but a lot of them were already expired in the database and I just had to delete them. Unfortunately when NetBackup hits a problem tape, it stops. It doesn't say, "Okay, we'll put that one aside and keep going with the inventory." From: Martin, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 21:34: VIRUS ALERT!
