Restore completes successfully but with 0 bytes

I need a solution

My media server is Windows 2008 SP2 running Backup Exec 2012 rev 1798 (SP3?).

I am unable to restore 4 files from tape. The job reports as successfully completed with a byte count of 0 and 0 files processed.  I have cataloged the tape and the files do show up in the catalog.  I select those files in the restore wizard and the job runs fine.  It just does not actually copy the files back to the server.

I have tried to restore from 3 different tapes to rule out a bad tape or single backup job.  I have tried various options in the restore wizard - overwrite existing files, redirect to another location, etc - but nothing seems to work.  Here is a screenshot of the job log: http://imgur.com/lJ2QAi9

Searching for a solution, most threads are about restoring to vm's or other scenarios that do not apply.  This is a simple restore of a couple pdf files to a local disk.  A common recommendation is to duplicate the backup job to disk, then restore from there.  I will try that next.

 

But still, hopefully someone can tell me why doesn't it work from tape.

Thank you
