I am 99% sure that it will scan in just fine. Meaning that if you know the 5
tapes that include the saveset you can scan all 5 in whatever order you like
and once all pieces are scanned in the 'incomplete' flag on the saveset
itself will dissapear.  I say this because I had to scan in about 50 tapes
about a year ago and I took no care to load them in any specific order and
at the end of the episode all the savesets were restored just fine.  Come to
think of it if you use the -v flag and start with a tape that has a middle
segment it will tell you "continuining from tape XYZ123" or the like so you
can sort of piece it together that way too.

Good luck.

Subject: [Networker] Scanner question


Consider a saveset spans 5 tapes.  If I run scanner with a -i -S ssid and
randomly choose a tape (ending up with the middle of the saveset), will the
entire saveset be imported and all the tapes used?  Or will it be incomplete
because I didn't start the scan with the tape that contained the beginning
of the saveset?

A little explaination would help, thanks.
