I just finished uninstalling and installing the latest version of Veritas’ BackupExec. I don’t get the hate about it. I had no problem with it getting to recognize the existing tape data after an Inventory and Catalog operation. Restoration works as well. And that is after I deleted EVERYTHING.

  • Uninstall Everything
  • Delete SQL Server and Veritas folders
  • Delete Catalog folder

The only thing I had to do to is restore the tape backup’s encryption key using the previous key and salt. I dunno, maybe I’m just a high enough level of tech sorcerer that I can do it without reading any manuals and such. Oh well! 🤷
