Does it try to read from the monthly backup tape? If not, there could be some index issue which is pointing towards the clone tape and not the backup tape. If yes, the backup tape might have gone bad and it is not able to read from the backup tape.

When I check the backup it deos not ask for the monthly clone.

In the network user, when I check the required volume it does not ask for the monthly backup, it asks for the monthly clone

Thanks

Hi Jihad,

Workaround to solve your problem is mark as suspect the savesets in the monthly clone and try do recover.
Probably is some index issue.

when we do backup to disk and clone. when the staging writes the datas to tape, the oldes backup is the stagng tape. And if you do a recover the recover ask for clone tape and not for staging tape.

we "solve" this problem renaming the tapes backwards:  the clone tapes as a staging tapes and the staging tapes as clones.

That is not the best.

advantage: we do not need to put "suspect" the staging tape, if your tapes are outsource.

disadvantage: the clone tape is in the same place that is the datas, and the staging tape is outsource "late"

Regards, and excuse me my Engish
