I suspect the procedure will be something like this:
-> re-add the mount itself
-> re-add the AFTD (this may require access to old .res data)
-> re-add the *old* volume (which is possibly the unsupported part,
though I don't see why you can't 'scanner' this once the AFTD was back
in)
Of course, if you've deleted the contents of that directory, all
(cheap/simple) bets are off.
Let us know how this turns out, since I've considered using a
remote-mounted (i.e. from DR site) AFTD for Index and Bootstrap copies.
This procedure would be required to recover the 'unknown' external AFTD
at the DR site.

Subject: HELP! Deleted AFTD volume and need to re-mount it
I created an AFTD device (Y:\aftd) with an associated volume
(SomeData.003) on a Windows storage node about three weeks ago, for a
one-
time use in backing up some data locally to the storage node.
Once given the all-clear by my mgmt, I deleted the AFTD and the volume
from NetWorker.
As you've undoubtedly predicted, I now am being told we need that data
recoverable after all! :-)
EMC support says this is not an officially-supported process, and will
involve some recreation of the AFTD, after which I will need to do some
stuff to "suck in" the data that is SomeData.003.
Has anyone else done this, and can you help me understand what's
involved?
Thanks
