Sounds promising. You need to determine which savesets NW wanted off the tapes you didn't bring with you and why they were not on the tapes you did have. Without more details of the issue, I can't be any more help to you.

Ok, so the schedule says it should have run a Full -- did it?

The
files

        should Networker still back them up?
Did those "month end fulls" run at level "Full" and did they run clean? Yes, at level Full, NetWorker should back up every single file on the system.
