replica on tape (offfline)

We backup or vm's with a VBA  and then once a month we clone the data off to tape for long term retention.   I am trying to recover data from 1 yr ago but when you go to vcneter it shows Replica on Tape (offline) and will not allow the restore to be set up.  The tape is loaded on the library and location shows as the tape library from networker.  How do i get vcenter to show the tape as online?

    I don't use VBA, but isn't it that support wise it required disk?  So, eventually you can clone it back to disk, mark tape copy suspect and try again (if this rule still applies - you should check with support).
