Unless Networker is messing up (when have we seen that) it seems like
your restore is asking Networker to restore something that is not in
yesterday's full.    Are you selecting one file or directory that you know
for a fact is all in yesterday's full?    When it mounts the tape (full
backup tape?) from 90 days earlier does it actually takes data off if?
What is on that tape?   If this is an interactive recover do the old tapes
appear in the volumes list before the recover?
