We recently had a failure of our RAID 5 harddrive and needed to install a
parallel WIN 2k server operating system. When trying to access the second
raid partition, it could not be read. I am trying to restore a backup of the
data files from the drive that was created by WIN 2K backup but I am running
into problems when the restore tries to catalog the backup structure. When I
install a media titled "media created ..." I add it to the backup pool, it
tries to read the catalog but then asks me to install media #2. IDO NOT HAVE
A MEDIA #2!! When ever a tape ran out, we started a new backup with a new
"media created ..." with a new date. How can I access the data on a tape and
restore it?
