Basically:
1) Fine the bootstrap file for the catalog job (you've already done this).
2) Now you know which tape to bscan (#17)
3) Once Tape 17 is in the database, you can restore the database to it's
pre-crash state and you don't have to bscan any other tapes.
As a side note, our solution to this is to backup the database to our
fileserver on a daily basis (which is a different machine). We would
have to lose both the backup server and the fileserver in order to need
to bscan anything.
