    My guess is that the backups has expired. From the Netbackup side the tapes will look empty. However the data is still on the tape seen from a magnetic point of view unless tapes has been overwritten with new backups.

    Follow this procedure to import data on the tape back into Netbackup

we need to find out when the images were deleted from the nbu catalog manually or by experation because we have written 2 copies to tape and delete the images on disk via vault. now, after we have re-insert the tapes into the tape library the tapes are empty!

I guess that some of my collegues has run the

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpexpdate -recalculate -backupid $i -d 0

command and delete so all images on disk and on tapes.
