Running NW 7.4.5 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. 
We need to recover some ancient data that was written to LTO2 tapes
before we upgraded our library to one with LTO4 drives... Have had no
problem recovering from LTO2 tapes as long as the entries were still in
the indexes... But now we need to scan in a couple of save-sets from
fall of 2010 that are still on tape (expired,recycleable,but still
intact), but no longer in the indexes... When I attempt to run 'scanner
-S ssid# -I \\.\Tape### , it crashes with: 

C:\Windows\system32>scanner -S 1804344764 -i \\.\Tape2147483643
8909:scanner: using '\\.\Tape2147483643' as the device name
8936:scanner: scanning LTO Ultrium-4 tape 001653L2 on \\.\Tape2147483643
8938:scanner: LTO Ultrium-4 tape 2223712427 for volume 001653L2
conflicts with existing
media database entry for LTO Ultrium-2 tape 2223712427

Does anyone know the syntax to specify that it's an LTO2 tape with the
-t (type) option ?? I've been trying what the manual outlines, but
nothing is working... keep getting errors.

Thanks,
