As Steven indicates, there is no ready way to determine which volumes a
restore will use. (A "-preview" client option is very much needed.)
But as with all things, there are always crude "trick" methods to
accomplish an end...
Volumes for restoral, determine How to determine which tapes will be
needed in a restoral? One crude but
effective method is to change all that
node's volumes to Unavailable status,
run the restoral on the client (which
will obviously be unable to proceed),
and then view the error messages in the
server Activity Log, which will identify
the tapes.
