When I first took over running networker two years ago, I could use mminfo to examine the savesets on the tapes that had been sent to the vault -- all the way back to the oldest tapes we keep.

Somehow I've managed to delete something in the two years I've been doing this that has removed that ability. Now, I need to restore a system from the backup that was made of it in May of 2004.

I have the bootstrap information (The bootstrap report that tells me where it is) -- is there anyway I can use that to retrieve the information about these tapes I need (without destroying my current environment). In otherwords, I don't think I want to use mmrecov on my production system -- anyone have any advice?

Anyone know what I deleted that I shouldn't have that removed my ability to see the savesets (not the individual files) that are on these old tapes?
