Hello to all,
Can somebody please tell me what might have happened or why might have caused 
this to happen?
 
I am trying to restore files from our month end tapes (5 months ago), according 
to the tape log we have these set of tapes, so I ordered them from offsite, 
loaded them in the jukebox and when  I check what's inside the tapes - they are 
all blank/empty. I used 'mminfo -avot -c <client>' and that too didn't showed 
up any savesets for the month I'm trying to restore from. Manually loaded 1 
tape from the month end set of tapes and started scanning using 'scanner -iv' 
and when done, I checked the tape and there savesets in there now and also 
mminfo is also showing the indexes. 
I have this issue on 4 month end savesets or sets of tapes and that involves 
about 50+ tapes, so as much as possible I don't to use scanner on each of them, 
but is there another option to rebuild the media and client index from these 
tapes?
 
thanks in advance,
