Hello, 

I was a member of this list at my previous job, and have been
monitoring the list for a few weeks since I went to 7.3 training.

We are running 7.4.2 (recently upgraded) in a Windows 2003 environment.
 We have an EDL that clones to tapes for off-site storage.

I'm a little confused about restoring from a clone.  We ran out of disk
space on our EDL, because recycling of tapes is not working correctly. 
To clean up, I had to delete the older tapes and then relabel them to
reallocate the disk space on the EDL.  I opened a call with EMC to find
out if I should leave the file and index entries and I was told that to
restore from a clone, I would have to scan the tape back into the
database. 

Is this accurate?

Kathy
