Doesn't a saveset equate to a file system?

The same mminfo will have a "name" field with it, so then you know if
that file is in that file system, and the volumes it spans.

I don't know how you would look for an individual file. Sorry.

I wasn't clear. I meant how to determine which files or directories 
within the save set itself? I have a pool that has only one save set on 
it so far, so it's just the one ssid. That save set is split across 5 
tapes. The save set consists of hundreds of files or subdirectories. 
I've tested some recovers of various directories - all OK, but I'd like 
to perform a test recover on one of those that actually spanned, but 
figuring out which ones that would include doesn't seem trivial.
