Yes... I see it.  I re-index the tapes with scanner command.  With
duplicate tape labels I let them both expire and re-label them manually.

I guess I have been using windows applications too long... I just
re-boot/update/workaround and live with it.

Any other ideas out there?

We have had an odd ongoing issue where NetWorker will run for weeks without
issues, relabeling recyclable tapes as required and then without rhyme or
reason, we get a large batch of tapes that result in "NOT IN MEDIA INDEX"
and "Duplicate label" errors as it tries to relabel the tapes.  The label
written on the tape differs from the media database and I just don't
understand why this continually happens.  The only fix is to delete the
volume from the media DB and then relabel the tape.  Has anyone run into
this and resolved it?

Cheers,
Jim
