Hi Darren,

Unfortunately I am limited by the Windows 2k3 command line...

I have tried doing an mmrecov however it fails to find a bootstrap saveset 
on tapes (I know from a bootstrap printout that there is in fact a valid 
bootstrap on the tape I tried) I suspect this is because I was using a 
current version of legato (7.1.3) and the tapes were from legato 5.X.X 
Does anyone on here know if later version of Legato are backwards 
compatible when doing mmrecovers?

Cheers,
Matt

I haven't tried automating it.  Have you tried running it with no
connection to the shell?  Does it run or just exit out?

scanner -blah...  < /dev/null > /tmp/scanner.log 2>&1

If that doesn't work, then 'expect' would allow you to automate it
externally.  More annoying than working entirely within scanner, but
pretty dependable.
