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.
