    Since you are using tapes, you don't have to do the import which is only for B2D folders.  You only need to inventory (or scan if you are using barcode labels) the tapes and then catalog them.

Thank you for the quick reply.  I did read the article but unfortunately, after successfully cataloging the tape, the defunct server isn't listed for the restore.  I'm wondering what I'm missing if anything?  Perhaps a critical piece of information is that the tape is from a Novell server.  I had thought that if I was able to successfully catalog the tape, I would be able to restore from it.
