Okay so thankfully I haven't had to do many restores, yet....  today I 
get to try to restore a large amount of data off media that has passed 
its retention date and is no longer in the catalog database.  I guess I 
need to "rebuild" the catalogs from that tape?  I know which tape the 
data is on but I need to be able to navigate to and restore a subset of 
directories from that tape etc.

So my question is what is the procedure to regenerate catalogs from 
media that has passed its retention period??

I would like to do this via either the master server GUI or client GUI 
if possible.  All Sol8 environment running NB DC 4.5.

Thanks in advance,
