Dear Experts<br />
<br />
After installing some additonal licenses to my Backup Exec server, I'm not able to preform inventories or quick erase tapes which causes issues for me since I'm not able to run backups on freshly inserted tapes.. does anyone know what I can do to fix this?<br />
<br />
Things I can't do:<br />
- Run quick erases<br />
- Run inventories (from backup exec)<br />
<br />
Things I can do:<br />
- Run backups on already imported tapes.<br />
- Catalog media<br />
<br />
So I guess there's nothing wrong with the tape library which I thought was the issue.<br />
<br />
I've tried things I've seen in different forums:<br />
- pause and unpause tape library<br />
- completely redo all my job setups.<br />
- repair the backup exec db<br />
<br />
Is my only option a complete reinstallation?

Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 - can't quick erase/library

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
