Restore from old tape after tape copy

[xzvf]

Hello!

Our customer have copied several tapes from site A to site B, from one to a different GFS media pool.
They need to restore now at site A, but the original tapes in site A are not shown at the "restore from tape" wizard after choosing the required restore point.

Our options are AFAIK:
- delete the site B copy from the catalog and import the site A original tape, then do a restore as before
- do a full tape restore, then import backup, then restore files from there

Is there a simpler way?
Is this working as intended?

In this post it is mentioned that both of the old and new tapes should be there when choosing the restore point, or did I miss something?

After contacting the support, my initial assumptions were confirmed.
Here is it if anyone will need it later:

Only the latest and most recent source media is shown as the chooseable options, in spite if you need a file restore, or full VM restore, the following are valid as described in the full tape restore
Also, the fact that the most recent online copy will be used for the restore is also documented here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
"If you are restoring data from tapes that were previously copied, as described in section Copying Tapes, Veeam Backup & Replication will use the most recent online copy as a source for restore."

So our options are:
- export the site B copy from the catalog and import the site A original tape, then do a restore as before
- do a full tape restore from the selected tape (you need to find the proper ones first, it could be sluggish), then import backup, then restore files from there
- do a cross-site restore: read from tape on site B, then restore to a repo on site A

So eventually for a simple file restore from tape we needed to restore 12TB data from tape.
Wish there would have been a more useful solution....
