You could try expiring the tape and re-importing it
into the Master Server. You would have to use the
"bpexpdate -m 100108 -host media1 -d 0" command.
Though I'm not sure if it will work with media1 being
gone.


For UNIX, you could try the following option in the
bp.conf file: FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = media1
master1"

If Windows, Host Properties>Master SERVE>General
Server> Media Host Override. Specify the original
media server in the From field and the Master in the
To field.

There is also a way to edit the header (.f files) in
the images directory on the Master to change the Media
Server that that created the images to a different
Server (the Master).
