I wasn't clear. I meant how to determine which files or directories within the save set itself? I have a pool that has only one save set on it so far, so it's just the one ssid. That save set is split across 5 tapes. The save set consists of hundreds of files or subdirectories. I've tested some recovers of various directories - all OK, but I'd like to perform a test recover on one of those that actually spanned, but figuring out which ones that would include doesn't seem trivial.

Subject: [Networker] How to find a file that spans two tapes?

Is it possible to see which files in a browseable index span two or more

tapes?

For example, if I run a full backup of /disk2 to a pool with indexing enabled, and it takes, say, four tapes, then can I see which files
spanned two tapes? I'm trying to run a recover test for a file that
spans two of these tapes, but how can I find it?

I know I can run 'nsrinfo -t nsavetime client', but this doesn't tell me

which tapes the given files are on. Also, I can run 'nwrecover' and run 'vers' against the files to determine which tapes they're on, but it's trial and error for each. Too many to run against.
