[Sunhelp] [OT] Veritas NetBackup

I'm attempting to get backups going again from a configuration that
I really have no idea if it previously worked. The previous sysadmin was
not the greatest, and, well, I can't guarantee that it worked . But.
Anyways.

I essentailly started over from scratch, re-building the backup
schedules and stuff, but I'm getting some errors, and I dont' really
know where to go for help. I imagine my problem is something that is an
easy fix. Essentially, what my problem is, is the previous person had
set all of the media up as the default A00XX, etc. I decided that a more
sane scheme would make more sense, but, apparently it makes everything
go wonky.  : >  Now, one of the new storage groups with one of the new
tapes doesn't like to find the tapes in the drives. There are 2 drives
attached. Both are ADIC robots, one with 2 dlts and holding 18 tapes,
and the other has 1 dlt with 7 tapes. It's connected to an Ultra 2 @ 300
mhz with 640mb ram.

Documentation on Veritas' website is very lacking. I have a manual for
netbackup, but, it's a manual.

Any help, pointers, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim Conrad
