Two questions here about scanner command:

1. Is there any reason you would use the scanner command for a recover (e.g. 'scanner -S ssid device | uasm -r') if you could just do a saveset recover?

If the saveset had not been removed from the database, and/or the volume was still in the database and not been removed, recycled, relabeled, etc. then would there be any reason to use scanner instead of say 'recover -S ssid'? I read the man page for scanner, but can't seen to understand any advantage in using it in this case unless the savesets were no longer in the media database.

2. In the event that you wanted to update the index with files from a saveset that was somehow removed from the database then looks like scanner will do that if you have the tape, but why not just use 'nsrck -L7'?

Thanks.

George
