  • Bru PE behaving strangely, tape backups created, but no indexed catalog shows up

    Posted by Graham Hutchins on October 7, 2011 at 3:41 pm

    Hello all,

    I just recently did a system wipe and OS reinstall, set everything up and have the system mostly back to where it was.

    I have copied over all of the relevant Bru catalog data from the previous install and all of my old tape catalogs show up, are navigable, searchable and I can restore my data.

    The issue I’m running into at the moment is now when I create a new tape backup, Bru does what it does, backs up, error checks, etc., but when I twirl down my newly created archive in the “Restore” tab, there is no catalog to select and therefore, I cannot restore any data from the tape archive I’ve created. I have tried to re-import the archive from the tape using Bru PE Tape Import Tool, but I’m getting the same result.

    I’m on SL 10.6.8 on a system install that’s less than a week old. I don’t feel like I’m doing anything different than every other time I’ve created archives.

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

    hey Graham

    did you update your OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard? i know that catalogs have to be updated by Tolis to make this change.

    it sounds like BRU might be writing the new archive catalogs to a different directory, or there’s a permissions issue. either way, call Tolis and they can help you out. i find whenever i have issues with PE it’s a lot easier to give them a call than to try and troubleshoot it myself.
