Hi Sumash,
Very interesting method. But wow!! it actually resolved the issue
and i was finally able to perform that recover operation and now
any subsequent recover operations on that particular tape work too.
Any ideas what may be causing this and why this particular workarounf works ?
Anyway, thanks a ton for you assistance.
Rgds,
Monit
