Think I figured out why it was asking for a 2nd tape .. had a client that
I stopped saving in that bootstrap group, but had not yet deleted the
definition. And I think the last time it was saved as part of that
bootstrap info was 2 weeks ago ... which would have been the last time an
index for that client was saved ...
So I stopped the "nsrck -L7"; deleted that client definition (and it's
index directory), and re-started the "nsrck -L7". And it's now mack to
recovering indexes for the rest of my clients.
So hopefully it will all Just Work ...
