Not sure how it works with Veritas but there are tickboxes on the
properties of the store that you select to say that the store can be
overwritten by a restore and another one to tell it not to mount the
store at startup. Then in ntbackup you would specify that it wasn't
the last backup in the set (which, if you had logs to locate and
insert would be true)

So, I'd take a meander through the Veritas docs to see what's the
equivalent set of ticks and procedures.

They key here is that you have mounted a store and were working on it
so you effectively have two stores, the log files for which bear no
relationship to each other.
