NetWorker handles the media it wants for recoveries.  To recover this from a 
staging device, it's probably already going to be online and available, which 
means NW will probably recover it from that.  Probably.  If you remove the tape 
volume, then NW will have no choice (I'd hope) other than to recover it from 
staging device.
 
Cheers,

In client configuration, how do we add savesets list?  While using disk 
staging/adv_file type can we restore the data from staging are instead of  
going to tape ?
