Current set was not found 24648 error
I want Backup Exec to finish with a Normal status more than it is.
I am currently getting a "The current set was not found after media positioning
(24648) error. Using BE 9.2 on Netware 6.5 with an Exabyte VXA-2 1x10 1u
autoloader which houses 10 tapes. This customer originally had Backup Exec
8.5 and so this is an upgrade and I'm not sure if remnants of 8.5 might be
part of our problems.
I had been getting "Error writing to the catalog file on SYS" errors, and
on an earlier occasion, after cleaning out files in \Bkupexec\Catalogs, I
was able to get Normal status' briefly. After getting the error again, I
cleaned out the Catalogs again (they are backed up if needed).
However, I am fine with a nuke it from space option.
I can erase all the tapes, delete all the media sets, delete data directories-
- there is nothing we need to save!
At one point I even renamed the \Bkupexec directory and reinstalled it from
scratch but for some reason it won't see the drive (I think I remember editing
BESRVR.CFG or BESTART.NCF with a switch that Exabyte said was needed - -
if we should revert to a clean install, what files would I copy from the
original dir to ensure it saw the drive?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Current set was not found 24648 error
I assume that you are seeing this error on your restore jobs? If so,
try the following:
1. BESTOP
2. Rename :\bkupexec\catalogs to catalogs.old
3. BESTART
4. Insert the tape that you want to restore from and then inventory the
drive
5. Run a long catalog on this media:

Now try and restore. Also, if you have any anti-virus software running
on your media server - make sure that the bkupexec folder is excluded
from being scanned. Anti-virus software can cause corruption in the BE
catalogs, databases etc.

No, it's happening on our backup jobs.

Re: Current set was not found 24648 error
OK, try the following then:
1. BESTOP
2. Rename :\bkupexec\mm to mm.old
3. BESTART
Be aware of what this does though:

Re: Current set was not found 24648 error
Thanks. Today's error was the original error writing to catalog file on SYS.
Should the MM rename take care of this too or do I need to do something in
the Catalog directory too? I'm deleting all tapes anyway so I'm not worried
about any consequences or setting things up again.

The rename of the MM folder may help with this. I've not seen or heard
of this error before to be honest. How much free space do you have on
the SYS volume? Perhaps it needs a purge?
You might want to consider moving the catalogs to another volume:
