George,

Perhaps your referring to the nsrck -L7 -c clientname -t date   command?
This will ask for the tapes with the index backups on them and merge the
old index into to the new one.  Then you can browse the files as usual and
do your restore.   We certainly have had to run scanner or restore a whole
saveset for one file since this command became available.
