Paul:

Since the expiry dates are also written on the tapes, the next time
weekly is run, it would like ask to override the expiry and use the
tapes again.  Since the data is already backed-up, you might as well
just change the expiry dates in the tapepool (just becareful you only
touch the tapes involved... use SET VERIFY in Xedit to help you).

Our operators tend to get annoyed having to re-run a job (our weeklies
can run as long as 22 hours), and even more so when they must respond to
confirmation that they can overwrite the tapes previously used.  For
the sake of VMBACKUP being down and a few minutes work in Xedit, go
for it!
