Guys
Ok to confirm.....
=20
The tape labels are in the SCRATCH pool - quite how they got in there is =
a mystery!
All I done, was ejected tapes from volume pool, replaced these tapes =
with new tapes and/or used media expired and placed them in the Scratch =
ready for this weekends backups!
=20
Still waiting on Veritas to contact me !!!=20
As the reports module shows nothing for the media, I can only assume =
that somehow, Vol Manager has decided to expire these tapes (that had =
monthly backups, weekly full and diff backups!)
=20
Quite how is a mystery! I also went to find my Catalogue Backup tape, =
and now Netbackup does NOT see it in there! (although there is an entry =
in the Netbackup volume pool).
=20
I have no idea now what is going on!!! I am getting very desperate now =
:(((

The best is going to bpdbm log to see what happens with the Images on =
Medias, without see the log is very difficult to explain what happens...
=20
And for the tapes it=B4s easy, if you have it out of the robot, you can =
import it...

 Re inventory your robot first, might take a while, but it will at least =
bring your database up to date with whats in there. this will aslo =
refresh everything in the database, you might get that list back that =
way.=20

I am in a little shock, so hoping someone can help explain this mystery!
=20
I ejected approx 30 tapes from NBU 5.1 MP2 on 2003 Server. The tapes =
were from varied volume pools.
=20
The eject process completed successfully, I stored the tapes in a safe, =
and replaced them with either new tapes or expired Media Tapes.
=20
Weekend came and backups ran - some still going, but its working!
=20
I just decided to see what was in the scratch pool, and by luke I =
happened to check some of the volume pools where I removed Media from =
them on Friday, only to discover there is no record of the tapes.
=20
By record I mean, the Volume Pool would show an entry for the tape, even =
though its not in the robot.
=20
Decided to check the other pools, and to my horror, there are no entries =
for these tapes!!!=20
Starting to worry now, because I wonder what on earth has happened.
=20
I have noticed the SCRATCH pool is showing ALOT of Media ID's!!! Clearly =
not in the robot, but i cannot understand what has happened!
=20
Can anyone shed any light or help?
