[Networker] Using scanner to recover a bootstrap or index?

Hi,

If you have a bootstrap backup on both original tape and a clone copy,can you run the scanner command, with 'uasm', against each tape toextract the bootstrap saveset to disk in order to ensure that bothcopies are the same? Or will this not work when extracting specialsavesets like bootstraps or client file indexes?

I've done this on the storage node, and this works fine on normal savesets wherein I can subsequently run an MD5 checksum listing against eachrecovered directory that I previously extracted via scanner/uasm andthen compare the output of the two to prove that both the original andclone copy are the same, but I'm unclear what would happen if you triedthis on a save set like a client index or a bootstrap?

I don't wanna try it and have something bad happen wherein the serverthinks I'm trying to actually recover the bootstrap to replace thecurrent one?


Thanks.

George
