Thanks Kate, As I stated in my original post, I Phase 1 imported all of the tapes that were expired. There are no other tapes to import, so all of the images are somewhere on those tapes. Do I need to somehow tell Netbackup where each part of the image is? If so, how do I find out where the multiple parts reside?
