The policy names have little to do with restoring data from offsite
tapes. If the images have not expired, then their data will still be in
the database regardless if the old policies exist or not. As for
merging, I assume you are referring to importing data from an old tape,
this is a simple import that has nothing at all to do with the policy
used to back it up. We have used import to get data from tapes that were
not even backed up on our system in the first place.
