I'm not sure why you'd use scanner to recover data when everything is
working fine. We have, however, used scanner to recover data when
troubleshooting a problem with recover. Legato walked me through it as
a way to narrow down the possible sources of the error.

Subject: [Networker] Two questions about scanner?
Two questions here about scanner command:
1. Is there any reason you would use the scanner command for a recover
(e.g. 'scanner -S ssid device | uasm -r') if you could just do a saveset
recover?
If the saveset had not been removed from the database, and/or the volume
was still in the database and not been removed, recycled, relabeled,
etc. then would there be any reason to use scanner instead of say
'recover -S ssid'? I read the man page for scanner, but can't seen to
understand any advantage in using it in this case unless the savesets
were no longer in the media database.
2. In the event that you wanted to update the index with files from a
saveset that was somehow removed from the database then looks like
scanner will do that if you have the tape, but why not just use 'nsrck
-L7'?
Thanks.
George
