The test-recovery file doesn't now exist I have the correct tape that
was used from last friday and I expected to be able to extrat previous
test a file exist and when a run add and extract it promted me to put
the tape in have I missed something as I am aware that the test-recovery
file doesn't exist except for on the SMTLSet103 tape that's currently in
the tape server.

Cheers
