Symantec backup exec2014 restore

Dear Experts,
I have an old tape to restore the data from. It is showing 512 GB when I select the slot where the tape is kept but when I try to do the restore it shows blank in the restore folder tree as if there is no data inside the tape. I tried to do the inventory and catalog the tape before restore but same problem.Few days ago when the c drive was full, I selected the option to keep catalog for two months only. Is this creating the problem. Any suggestion will be great help for me.
Thanks and Regards.

Is it the same tape drive the backup was made on and how old is the backup?
