Err Msg: The Backup Set is Not Completely Cataloged

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you catalog a tape in Windows NT Backup (NTBACKUP.EXE), the following error message appears:

The backup set is not completely cataloged

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the catalog file on the hard disk contains incomplete backup information.

When you catalog a tape in Windows NT Backup, a file is created that contains the catalog information. The file name is the checksum of the backup set and the extension is *.Uxx (where xx is the number of the backup tape used during a backup session). As the system is cataloging the tape, Windows NT Backup creates three TEMP files called QTC_TEMP.000, QTC_TEMP.001, and QTC_TEMP.002. Arcada BackupExec for NT 6.0 functions the same way.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, do one of the following:

• Close and restart Windows NT Backup.
  
  -or-



• Locate a file with the .Uxx extension (where xx is the number of the backup tape used during a backup session) in the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32 directory. Rename or delete the file and re-catalog the tape.
