On the weekend, just as the WEEKLY backups were coming to an end, the
operator "detached" tape drives assigned to VMBACKUP before it had a
chance to do it itself. VMBACKUP promptly abended. It did manage to
create the WEEKLY catalog but did not have time to update the tapepools
(weekly and twins). There is no interface with VMTAPE. The tapepools
belong to VMBACKUP (1C0 mdisk).

I performed a "CHECK" on the weekly catalog for that day and everything
checks out O.K.

I'm thinking of "DISCARDING" that catalog and telling them to rerun the
weekly backups.

On the other hand, I could modify the tapepool files by changing the
creation and expiry dates for those tapes that were used during that
specific backup.

Any thoughts?
