Thanks for the mail, I am out of the office, and have limited access to email, until May 24th but will reply to your messages as soon as I can. Have a Great Day!! JWS ----------- Original message follows ----------- What is the correct procedure of Deleting a volume (such as DLT ) and restoring it back on a new volume with same number ? I'm running into a "media fault " problem on one of the DLT's while the weekend offsite task is running. The library loads this volume and at one point it detects media fault on that DLT and task stops there and goes in the loop. I would like to delete this volume and get the data back on a new DLT. I'm running ADSM v 3.1.2.40 on Windows NT server SP5. Thanks in advance, Prasanna Prasanna Ghanekar <<...OLE_Obj...>> EDS Pontiac East 2100 S Opdyke Rd MI 48341 *: (248) 972-4547
