I think I know how to do this but thought I would double check with the guru's.
I have a tape that got a write error during an ADSM backup so ADSM marked it
read-only and moved on to the next tape.  The bad tape obviously still has 
'some'
good and unexpired data on it.  Before I trash the tape, do I do a 'move data' 
command
and move all unexpired data from the bad tape to a new one??
Or is there another way to get the good, unexpired data off the tape.... other 
than waiting
for it all to expire ?

thanks,
