I`ve read through the LGT below and this still does not solve my
problem. Everything seems pretty straight forward and we have done them
in the past but, for whatever reason these restores will not work. I`m
thinking I may need to use nsrmm -d -P -S (ssid) to remove the indexes
and then recreate them using the tapes. Does this sound reasonable? I`m
wondering since the savesets still had a retention time of 3 months and
were still recoverable if I really only needed to just change the browse
times and not the retention...newbie mistake.....

Or just fix LGTsc12672 -- NetWorker worked for several years without
requiring an admin to jump through these types of hoops to use nsrck
-L7.
