Point of clarification.
The only differences between FROZEN and SUSPENDED:
1) Suspending has to be done manually
2) When all the images on a SUSPENDED tape have expired the tape will be 
re-used.

Otherwise they are treated the same in that NetBackup will read from the tape 
if a restore needs it.

Typically we make tapes SUSPENDED rather than FROZEN when we want to
reserve them for a restore (e.g. avoid vaulting using them for
duplication or other backups using them).  I was under the impression
you couldn't restore from a FROZEN tape.
