DescribeTapeRecoveryPoints

Returns a list of virtual tape recovery points that are available for the specified tape gateway.

A recovery point is a point-in-time view of a virtual tape at which all the data on the virtual tape is consistent. If your gateway crashes, virtual tapes that have recovery points can be recovered to a new gateway. This operation is only supported in the tape gateway type.
