If any of the tapes in question have not yet been recycled, then mminfo will show you what is on them. mminfo can tell you what save sets still exist, even if they are recyclABLE. In this case, you can mark the save sets and notrecyclable, and scan them back in to the index.


Understood.   Unfortunately, the data the suits are interested in is so old 
that the media has probably been reused 10 or 12 times by other clients and 
pools.

Typical. I can never understand why they should be interested in a backup that is long expired - especially when you state your retention period. The data is gone so what use are the log files. They should ask about recent backups - much more useful.

It's just jobsworth.
