Good tip.

What would you need to do if it wasn't? I have a number of tapes I need to 
read back in, that are older and well beyond their retention period. If I 
was still using BackupExec, I would "catalog" the tape, so I could choose 
which files on that specific tape I want to restore. This is the first 
time I would be doing this with Networker. Do I do a "scanner" command? Or 
is it "mmrecover"? I am confused.

Thanks
