It's do-able...i've done it a couple of times; but only in support of a sev
emergency need. if I have the time, I do it consecutively.

Good deal, I didn't figure I could, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks
for your help.

One more question...
If I have multiple tape drives do I have to wait for networker to call
in tape 2, then 3, then 4? Can I have multiple scanner jobs running
against the same saveset allowing me to run the scanner against all 4
tapes at once?
I wouldn't recommend it. These days it's considered "unsupported" to
scan in a saveset in an incorrect order when it spans more than one
tape, so scanning it all in simultaneously would fall into that
category. If I recall correctly a discussion with a PSE, scanning a
saveset "locks" that saveset in the media database, so the first scanner
operation would get exclusive access to the saveset, and other scanners
run at the same time would (at best) be unable to update the record.
Cheers,
Preston.
