    As per my post above - if you do not merge the masters, you will need to import tapes one-by-one.

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH43584 

    If you do not merge and do not keep old masters around to browse for images and find which tape contains the images, you will have a hard time figuring out which tape(s) to import.

    Careful when adding tapes from other environment to new server!
    NBU will not know about the data on tape and add tape as new, unassigned, available.

    Best to create a different pool (e.g. RESTORE) and add these tapes to this new pool that will never be used for backups.
