Retrieving data from old backup tape that is not in catalog

[593811273]

How do I go about Retrieving data from old backup tape that is not showing up in the list when I go to Restore?

[backupgreg]

you need to catalog it first, then it'll show up

[Ken_Putnam]

stick the tape in the drive
inventory
catalog

If it still doesn't show up, or if the catalog fails with "already present" see
