If you lost your database in the server going down you would need to
bscan or at least bextract a backup of the database. If you did not
loose the catalog you may be able to make the copy restorable without
bscan as the manual suggests.

It seems you need to purge the disk volumes and the tapes will become
restorable. However I have not tried that.
