Every article I find seems to be related to earlier versions of NetBackup. I've looked in the Media Manager Admin guide which points me to the Windows Admin Guide Volume 1 which works nicely for beating my head against. Could someone PLEASE tell me in simple terms the steps involved in reusing Catalog Backups from the Catalog Backup volume pool. I can't do anything as long as there's an assigned date on the media and I can't seem to be able to get rid of the assigned date. I can't re-label and I can't erase the tapes. This process was handled by a different team for the past 2 1/2 years. The commands I remember in 4.5 no longer apply apparently. Like everyone else, we're trying to do more with less people and I've wasted all morning trying to figure this out. While I'm running the Admin Guide through the shredder, can someone help me out PLEASE!! 6.5.2a on Windows Server 2003. Thanks in advance, Randy _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
