We haved been asked by Legato Support to perform a DR of the backup server, 
specifically to
mmrecov the media database from backup. The theory being it can fix the 
corruption.

I know of one instance when it appears to have done this. Note I say appears as 
I could not
attribute the fix to the other actions taken. At least twice it has made no 
difference.
