If tapes are EXPIRED but not relabelled yet, you do not need to scan tapes to recover from. Use recover -S SSID. Recyclable/expired tapes just mean "may be overwritten if needed" but does not mean yo

Just be sure to recover to an alternate location when going tash-picker on the data. I just did a DR test where the app wanted various and sundry data located in the '/' filesystem (including /etc)..

Can nsrck -L7 be used to recover the indexes from a tape that was written with an earlier 'major' version, to a later server? For example, between 6.x and 7.0 there were index format changes. So, eg
