Hey everyone, just wondered if anyone has ever run into this situation. 

As some of you know, we had to bring up an emergency data center, complete
with backup systems about 6 weeks ago, due to Hurricane Katrina.  Everything
has been running fine, but now the next step is being planned. 

I have a powered off Legato server and tape library down in New Orleans.
When power is restored to the data center (the building already has power,
but we have not powered up equipment yet), is there any way to power up the
Networker Server, and have it check the indexes, but NOT recycle any tapes.
Eventually, we will want to recycle the tapes, but for the first 30 or 60
days, we probably do not want to recycle any tapes.    We will want to start
running backups once the data center comes up.  Therein lies the problem - I
know I could extend the dates on FUTURE backups, but how do I change the
expiration dates on tapes already written to? 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.
