Another way to (possibly) "cheat" the system on this is to
(a) run the select from volumeusage to determine list of tapes,
(b) mark volumes outside the silo "unavailable", then
(c) use "classic" restore --- get what you can *and* the unavailable vols!
Unless they "closed" this loophole, it used to be that no-query-restore
would stop if it encountered an "unavailable" tape, while classic restore
would do all that it could (issuing messages to the activity log for volumes
it could not access). You'll need to test it for your vintage of client.
(To force classic restore, use filespec with a trailing /?* or \?*, the
important part being question-mark then asterisk.)

Subject: How to tell which tapes a restore requires?
Let me ask my question a different way. If I do a restore, the server
requests certain tapes to be mounted if they are offline and not physically
in the library. Is there any way to determine ahead of time what those tapes
are and put them in the library via a preview or something or do I always
have to run the restore and wait to see what tapes it wants?
