Hello,
You can easily relocate data to any server other then where the data was 
backed up from by using recover options, i.e relocate to D:\restore, this 
can be accomplished in either saveset or file level via recover or 
Networker user.
Chose the client to recover from
Chose the client to recover to ( This could be your SN or backup server or 
any other compatible client, i,e windows to windows, windows to linux will 
not work)
Under netwoker user chose client options and "Relocate recover data to" 
typically i use D:\restore.
Hope that's what you were asking.
HTH

Among other things, yes.  But the scanner man page shows other usages.
In particular, you can use it to read directly from a tape, and pipe the
output into the local filesystem.  So you're not really doing a
"recover" at all.  It's just spewing data from the tape into a
filesystem. 

# scanner /dev/rmt/xxx -x uasm -rv -m/=/a

(recover all data from the tape in /dev/rmt/xxx, and rename it so that
everything is stored under /a). 

Again, I've *never* tried that on windows and really don't know how the
name redirection works there.

I don't know about one per line.  I think you just pass them in on the
command line with -S (but there may be another format that I'm not
seeing).  With no path name given, this will recover all files in the
specified saveset(s).

Until you mentioned it, I thought recover could only do one saveset at a
time, but that might work well.
