If the ssid is still referenced into media db, fastest way to recover is
recoverying the ssid at once (recover -S ssid -d <relocation path>).
This is off course not possible for system state/db/files backups.
 
If the ssid is NOT referenced anymore in media db, then the volume(s)
containing the ssid will have to be scanned (scanner -m)then proceed 
by recovering ssid as above.

 You will have to recover to a different server. Basically a directed
recover. Just create an entry in your backup servers host file for the old
server name. Give it a dummy IP address. If the files that you want to
recover are browsable just bring up the recover gui or use CLI on the server
you are going to recover the files too. Once the gui  is up change client
over to the original client name. You will have to recreate the client if
you deleted it. Either recover the index if possible or scan the tape in.

Here is a situation I have never run into:

There are some files on a server that we retired some months ago that
someone wants me to restore.  The files are about a year old.  I have the
full backups from a year ago in tape form, but since that server was retired
and that client no longer exists in Networker, how would you (or can you) go
about restoring a save set from a client that is no longer known by
Networker?
