Thanks Kate,

As I stated in my original post, I Phase 1 imported all of the tapes 
that were expired. There are no other tapes to import, so all of the 
images are somewhere on those tapes. Do I need to somehow tell Netbackup 
where each part of the image is? If so, how do I find out where the 
multiple parts reside?
