I am glad that I am not losing it. I did not do
anything other than get a list by doing a
q drmedia wherestate=vaultretrieve. There would be
tapes listed and when I do it again a day or two
later, some of those tapes are not listed. I will
try to watch it more closely and check the actlog.
Thanks, Charles
