Hi @Keshav Sawant -

See if info in these 2 other Community posts help:

I know they are slightly different than your question, but may answer why. Let us know if not.


When you insert a tape in the library and rescan it is in an unknown pool. You need to move it to the Free pool so your media pool will use it or add it directly to your media pool.  Then you should see the capacity of the tape, etc.

We have taken full virtual machine backup on tape and same has been restored entire VM.

But I want to restore file level, specific file level backup from that particular tape. 

How to restore? can we restore direct to virtual machine?
