QIC Tape with Multiple Backups Sets, Only First Set Displayed

Article ID: 124803

APPLIES TO

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT Backup displays only the first backup set on a QIC tape with multiple backup sets. Once this problem has occurred, it is not possible to restore data from the missing sets.

QIC-40 or QIC-80 tape drives that create multiple backup sets occasionally have difficulty cataloging the tapes or detecting backup sets beyond the first one present on the tape. The Arcada Backup Exec package does not exhibit this problem because it stores catalog information on the disk.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
