Steve,
   You can try doing an import of the tape.  This physically examines
the headers for the images on the tape, and reloads them into the NBU
catalog.  Never tried this with a tape full of expired backups though.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring an expired backup

Hi, one of our customers left us last year and requested a backup tape
be
sent to them (even though we said that they would be unable to read it
without Veritas software). They have now requested that we restore some
files from this tape as they require some data from it. My problem is
that
the media server obviously no longer has the details of this tape so I
cannot just get the tape back and restore the info from it.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and is there a way to restore
this
image?

Any help much appreciated as I have very little experience of this
product
but have recently become resonsible for it.
