Katherine,
It is my experience that if a backup does not run to successful completion =
(Status 0 or 1) all the data that was transferred to the tape is not saved.=
I hear that within a new release or possibly a Feature Pack, that may no l=
onger be true but one of the folks that are in the know on that will have t=
o respond (I believe they're calling it checkpointing). I've always taken i=
ssue with the fact that it didn't keep what was done up through the failure=
=2E Especially, since I have some backups that might run 30-hours and fail =
in the 28th hour. I've been working with this product for more than 4 years=
now and have not ever found a way to get to that data (mainly because NBU =
does not catalog the partial image). Once the backup fails, that tape is el=
igible to be written over again so the odds of getting to the data before t=
hen are not good.
If anybody else has a different, more positive experience I think we'd all =
like to hear it.
Regards,
Dennis

Hi,
A backup was done but someone canceled it before it was finished. It
managed to backup about 25gb before the job was canceled. However, a manua=
l
backup was then followed and done to completion. When I try to do a
restore, it only shows the data of the completed backup. Nothing is
cataloged regarding the first canceled job. Is there anyway to restore the
25gb of backup that was backed up off the first canceled job. Wouldn't the
data still be on the tape?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Katherine Cerqueira
