SYMPTOMS
When you are verifying a backup that spans several pieces of removable media by using Ntbackup, you may receive the following message:

Insert the following media

created  at

Media #

Do you want to continue?

where  is the same number on the current disk or tape you had inserted.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, make sure that you have inserted the correct media that Ntbackup has requested. You may have to insert the media multiple times before Ntbackup recognizes it.



In some situations, reinserting the disk or tape will not work, and the verification pass on the backup media will fail. This does not mean that the data on that and later media are invalid, it means that they were not verified by the Ntbackup software. The backup data on the media should be in a usable state.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
