bootstrap tape

Michael,
I will not work. Here is why.

<SNIP>


Scanner -im
since these are foreign Tape to NW server. Does the order matter? I am not
Sure with the New versions I have not done this with random Tapes. But in
older version of NW the order of the tapes really matters.


My reply: Yes, the order of scanning is (usually) important - if the 
savesets span multiple tapes. But I am *not* running scanner here, am I? I 
want to run nsrck -L7 to restore the bootstrap (i.e., index values) for a 
specific client. Isn't that different from "scanner -i"? I don't know 
which of 20 tapes has the info I want, and I'm not about to run "scanner" 
on all of them, to find which volume I need, if I have the index available 
as a bootstrap. Isn't that what the bootstrap is for - avoiding using 
"scanner -i"? 


3. nsrck -L7 -c OldClient
