Greetings,

I have Veritas Netbackup 3.4.1 running on a Win 2K box. It has a robot 
unit connected directly to it - works fine, but I need to restore some 
files from an expired full backup and am having difficulty. I started by 
importing all of the expired tapes with the Phase 1 import as follows:

bpimport - create_db_info -id A0000x

I then looked at the dates and found the tape that contained the first 
part of the image I needed to restore the full backup. I then tried the 
Phase 2 import as follows:

bpimport -id A00011 -backupid host.name.image_1149400138
It begins the Phase 2 import and after a long time of reading the tape, 
it gives the error:

Unexpected EOF reading image, the image information is not complete.

And then something about the import being "partially successful."

What should I do now?

I also tried importing from the Administration GUI - import window - it 
gives no errors, but when I go to browse my files to see what I can 
restore - none of the files appear for the date of the full backup that 
I thought I just imported.

I then tried to go to a previous date's full backup (week before) and I 
have the same results (different tape).

Any suggestions?
