Hi Brian,

There is one other option, one that I believe I saw posted some time ago in
this list.  If you're only after a few machines, and the scope of the
restore is limited, you can try the following:

At the client in question, add the line

TAPEPrompt Yes

to the dsm.opt file.  Then go through the restore, and each time a tape is
needed, you'll see a prompt for it by volser.  At that point you can just
press "Skip" to go to the next tape.  We have used this method to pre-load
some standalone 3590s during DR tests.
