Hello all, 

Please accept my sincerest apologies if this problem has been mentioned 
again on this list, due to its complexity I couldn't figure out 
if it has or not by using the search function of the list.

I just did a backup of some servers to a pool destined for offsite storage
(this means that I instructed the pool not to save indexes for the save sets)
and while trying to verify that save sets are recoverable I noticed this:

The mminfo command for a specific client yields:

 volume        client     name                           ssid          clone id 
retent        total volid
Offsite.001    host1   /var                           3103859202  1119420706 
06/22/2006 17254492048 3103667713
Offsite.002    host1   /var                           3103859202  1119420706 
06/22/2006 17254492048 3106030849
Offsite.003    host1   /var                           3103859202  1119420706 
06/22/2006 17254492048 3108239105
Offsite.004    host1   /var                           3103859202  1119420706 
06/22/2006 17254492048 3110400001


and when I try to go to save set->recover the above ssid from the nwadmin the 
restoration fails saying: 

NetWorker media: (emergency) cannot find volid 3108239105

...without even bothering to tell me to insert some tape. 

The version of the server is 6.0something and the host1 is freebsd with version 
6 client from the
ports collection.  

Please note that trying to get info on the save set results in an error box 
saying that info on
the save set and the volume cannot be found.  Trying to do the same using the 
recover command 
line command has the same results.  

To me it looks like some sort of abnormal media database entries issue. Has 
anyone encountered anything
similar? If yes, was there some form of workaround or fix? 

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long message.

Cheers,
Athanasios
