George,
I don't know about how you can determine ahead of time what directories will
span multiple volumes but you can certainly go into Recover and select a
directory to recover then check the "Show required volumes" display to see if
in fact it does span volumes. I don't imagine it would take too long to find
one that did (but then what do I know?).

Subject: [Networker] How to find a piece of a save set that spans?
Hi,
We have 19 save sets that we've just backed up. These have also been
cloned. Each of these save sets is 1+ TB and consist of a number of
smaller sized sub-directories, e.g. 300 KB, 2.4 GB, 19 GB, etc. The tape
pool is indexed. All of these save sets span multiple tapes (minimally
3-4 tapes) as they were multiplexed together (parallelism=4) during backup.
I'd like to run a browseable recover test (nwrecover or CLI recover) on
a couple of random sub-directories from each save set, but I'd like
to also pick a few that span at least two tapes. I don't want to recover
the whole save set, however, as these are all very large.
Is there a way I can determine which directories span two tapes?
Will I have to just select random directories, using nwrecover or CLI
recover, until I find one that shows two volumes required?
Thanks.
George
