How to restore data from a backup using Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers 32bit
i just inherited a client with a Windows Server 2003 Standard Server. They were using Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers 32bit to backup to USB Seagate Free Agent Drives. Their HD crashed today, and I got new HD's with a RAID Mirror card and reloaded the OS and the Symantec Backup Exec 11d for Windows Servers 32bit software. I have never restored data using this software just from a tape or device with no catalog or from a fresh OS install like this before. What I can see on the Free Agent USB HD is the Veritas\B2D folder and all the *.bkf files in there. How do I restore this data? This is super emergency as I have to have this Server backup and running in 4 hrs.

Downloaded guide, but I am really in a bind and don't have time to read through the restore process and trial and error this junk. I put the question up here, because I need a quick step by step

Thanks pvlier:
Free Agent Drive is an EXTERNAL USB Drive. All the backups look slike backup2disk option on the external drives, hence the Veritas\B2D folder path
Windows 2003 Server Standard has been reinstalled without DOMAIN.
When you say "install backup exec to another location then it was" Do you mean different folder path on the same server?

Step 4. Inventory your backup media, then catalog it. I can just go into the DEVICES tab and right-click on my Bakcup-to-Disk Folder and select INVENTORY, correct? Same with Cataloging?

Ok very confused. How do I do Step 4? How I get Backup Exec to know where the data is on this External USB HD?

Getting these error when doing the catalog part on Step 4:
Error category : Backup Media ErrorsError : e0000900 - The requested media is not listed in the media index and could not be mounted. To add the media's catalog information to the disk-based catalogs, run an inventory operation on the media and resubmit the Catalog operation.
