Reclamation does not have anything to do with node consolidation. If
your data is in a storagepool which is not "collocated", you're going
to have every machine's data, to a good approximation, spread across
every tape.
If this is a question in your mind, you should probably read the
concepts guide which has been frequently referred to on this list
recently.
How many tapes were mounted to satisfy your restore?

Count tape mounts for that process, that'll help you determine what's
going on.
