John,

     Thanks for the reply,

     I am running AIX 4.2.1 and ADSM server V3.1.2.15

     I have been through the loop of running Audit reclaim etc.

     The point I was getting at though is the fact that I left a restore running
overnight expecting to get in in the morning to load the next tape only to find
that the restore failed because 1 file  was " Not Available to the Server" .  I
would have preferred to have arrived to load the next tape with a message saying
" a File was unavailable but the restore process continued".

Gary:
You do not mention what version you are running.
If it is prior to the version 3.1.2.13 you might want to run the Audit Reclaim
utilities and see if this fixes the damaged or missing file.

You may try deleting the corrupt file in question from the ADSM database and
then retry your restore procedure.
