Mike
May want to take a look at this.

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/274213.htm

Also, from memory, I created a specific volume pool called NBU_SAFE - by
default, if the tape HAS expired and you place into the robot you may find
its in the Netbackup or Scratch pool. Check this location, and where
applicable place it in a safe pool, or if possible, the original pool it may
have come from. Assuming you know :-)
