I have a request to restore a lib from a year ago. Unfortunately, the only
tape that has the data is on an (unused) expired tape. The backup was done
using BRMS.

I remember trying this a while ago & the system showed an empty tape.

Has anyone had success doing this? I was thinking I could change the system
date before trying.

Vincent
