Hi,

I am having a problem with several tapes. The problem started when the 
server crashed. Now when I try to use this tape (eg for a verify in this 
case) he is telling me that it is already in use. Also restores and 
duplicates are not working. Restarting netbackup, deleting left over lock 
and tpreq files didn't help. Included part of the bptm logfile and the 
list of the tpreq dir.
Any ideas how to get these tapes working again?
