Tape showing 'Unrecognized' in DPM 2012

Tape details when it was backed up in December 2014. 


Location            : Slot-20
MediaLabel          : Database Backup (Half Yearly | Tape) -00000002
LibraryName         : Hewlett Packard MSL G3 Series library  (x64 based)
TapeBarcode         : XXXXXX
IsOffsiteReady      : True
ProtectionGroupName : Database Backup (Half Yearly | Tape)

I used '|' in protection group name, when I check below MS KB blog I came to know that special characters aren't allowed. So now tape barcode is readable but its showing unrecognized. Is there any way to restore data ?
