That's pretty much what I've seen too.

That's what I had to do on Friday, unfortunately.  At least I'm getting
good at my NetWorker "disaster recovery" procedure.  :-)

After using mmrecov to get the media database back from Thursday's backup
and making sure things were copacetic, I went ahead and upgraded our
server to 6.1.2.  There's not much in the 6.1.2 release notes that would
lead me to believe that the problem was known and fixed between 6.1.1 and
6.1.2, but hope springs eternal.

I appreciate your response!  Sometimes it's nice to know that others have
run into the same problem, even if no one has a fix for it yet.
