I need a solution
Many moons ago, we had a BE server that had a few years of catalogs on it. We upgraded to new hardware, and for reasons I can't recall, we had to start over with a new & blank catalog.
Years have passed, and I've discovered the old catalog directory (23gb worth). I'd like to merge that old history into our current catalog (170gb).
Because this involves years of tapes for each set (and most are in off-site storage), re-cataloging either one is not an option.
Is there any way to do this? I've seen articles, but they all involve picking one set of catalogs, and manaually re-catalogging all tapes not in that set.
