Anyone else seen this?

I run a browsable recover (CLI), requiring one full and three incremental tapes. NW loads all tapes (6 drives in tape library) and starts reading from each, rather than starting with the full and working through one tape at a time, to the last incr?

This is on 7.5SP1 on RH Linux. Client is running an older 7.2.2 release.

I think I might have seen this happen every once in a while on older server releases? Is it possible that NW can somehow read from multiple tapes for the recover and manage all that, say, under certain recovers, maybe depending on what it knows needs to be recovered that won't be jeopardized by anything else that needs to be recovered from one of the other tapes?
