Strangely enough I never received any answer to this message, I found them in the archive! Anyway, thanks for the answers. I made some further tests mainly to get more experience in recovering a catalogue and learned that a recovered catalogue does not contain information about its own back-up, quite logically, but surprising the first time you see it. So therefore you will have to increase the file number by one in order to have the tape volume accepted. I have no idea how this works with disk archives. Regards, Erik. -- Erik P.
