The theoretical tapes are still in the media indexes, but have long expired all the savesets browse policies. I've never done a saveset recovery, but I assume I still could at this point. I don't think that's an option for other reasons, but it could technically be done, right?

Absolutely, using the saveset recover is an option as long as the media db still knows what tape(s) that ssid resides on. If you want a specific file, you are required to know the full path to that file (or you can recover the entire saveset and pick the file out afterwards)
