    another workaround but not pretty sure; if you have one or two NetBackup 3.5 media to restore, try do an import of that tapes in NetBackup 6.5... you might be successfull.. try this and let me know.

    no upgrade of the catalog will be happening. it will be restored to a different 6.5 netbackup server.

    I was thinking of importing the tape to Netbackup 6.5 but not sure if it will work. anyone have tried this approach?

    Since you are trying to restore it in a different NBU environment, this media will not be in netbackup catalog.

    Perform a two phase import as suggested by Srikanth. It should work.

    The two phase import builds the NBU catalog reading from the tape header.
