2009-07-10 Thread Justin Piszcz
Hello, Had a quick question, when importing tape media that may have already expired, during the phase1/phase2 import, does it reset it in advance or does it re-expire after you import it? Should one suspend the media first? What is the recommended procedure? Thanks, Justin.
