Veritas put the tape in Netbackup media pool yeah? It looks like it wiped
the 00002 tape out -  Try a restore from each date each system it may have
added images to the end of 02, 02 may still be alive - check restores from
each system /date but never do that again. Just test restores from the first
backups then the next - contents on media take a while but what you did is
wrong. You need different media for that - but if it saw the media as a new
media 03 then it initialized the tape as the 03 and wiped out all 02 01 data
because it started from the header.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media ID problem

Hi all,
I had to do a one time backup last week, so I put in a blank tape with
no barcode on it and the robot assigned it a random id of A00002,
backup succeeded. Today, I need to add some more stuff to the tape,
but the robot assigns the tape a different id, A00003. But when I did
a content search on the tape using A00003 as the media ID, it shows me
the media ID on the tape is A00002 with all the stuff I backed up last
week. How do I make the robot see the tape as A00002 ?
I'm using Netbackup DataCenter 4.5 FP3 on RH linux, and ADIC 24 tape
library.
Many thanks,

Yang
