Imagine Products PreRoll Post database errors
Hi All:
I have made 146 LTO tapes with the same mTape and PreRoll Post over a few years and for some reason now I can only see the last 53 tapes (93-146). I am now trying to retrieve from tape 77 but because it’s not in the database it can’t find it. I also tried to mount the tape with the mTape LTFS Utility with no success, as well as renaming a drive with no luck either. Retrieving older databases did not work either, it seems it always loads the same one, or I might be doing something wrong?
Anything else I can try while I wait for Imagine Products to get back to me?
Thanks a lot!

One question, are these groups of LTO Tapes part of a RAID or something? Where you are trying to allocate all 146 Tapes like if they are part of a RAID where one backups another incase any single point of failure happens? Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Victor:
No, they are not part of a RAID each tape is an individual LTO tape.
Thanks,

I had this issue many years ago. But that was with just a handful of tapes. I had written to Imagine then, and they sent a new build which helped me retrieve those tapes.
But it was too scary. So, after retrieving the tapes I switched to YoYotta and more recently to Canister and their backups are more reliable.
