Hello,
Thank you very much! Your commands (only the first one for the volume was
necessary) worked ok!
BEFORE
======
C:\>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,volaccess,volretent,savesets" | find
"HIS101"
HIS101 r E 13/02/2004 expired 72
C:\>mminfo -a -q "volume=HIS101" -r
"ssbrowse,ssretent,ssinsert,sscomp,ssflags,name" | sort
browse retent inserted completed ssflags name
05/02/2005 05/02/2005 06/02/2004 06/02/2004 vEF C:\
05/02/2005 05/02/2005 06/02/2004 06/02/2004 vEF C:\

YOUR COMMAND
============
C:\>nsrmm -o notrecyclable HIS101
Mark sdlt320 tape HIS101 as not recyclable? YES
AFTER
=====
C:\>mminfo -a -r "volume,volflags,state,volaccess,volretent,savesets" | find
"HIS101"
HIS101 r 13/02/2004 12/02/2005 72
C:\>mminfo -a -q "volume=HIS101" -r
"ssbrowse,ssretent,ssinsert,sscomp,ssflags,name" | sort
browse retent inserted completed ssflags name
05/02/2005 05/02/2005 06/02/2004 06/02/2004 vF C:\
05/02/2005 05/02/2005 06/02/2004 06/02/2004 vF C:\

PS: This volume has never been cloned!
Ah! Another question. Will affect to the recover of this data the fact that
the indexes in the server for this backup is expired because the server has
a different retetion time than this special backup? (28 days vs 1 year)
27/02/2004 27/02/2004 06/02/2004 06/02/2004 vrF index:machine1
Thank you again very much for your help!
