Just be sure to recover to an alternate location when going tash-picker on the 
data.  I just did a DR test where the app wanted various and sundry data 
located in the '/' filesystem (including /etc)...so they assumed I'd recover 
ALL.  Recovering root to original location on this DR server (in a remote 
datacenter) would have resulted in, at best, a broken and confused DR server.  
Instead I recovered it under my home dir and cp -rp the files over that were 
actually necessary.  Just a thought.....

Absolutely, using the saveset recover is an option as long as the media
db still knows what tape(s) that ssid resides on.  If you want a
specific file, you are required to know the full path to that file (or
you can recover the entire saveset and pick the file out afterwards)
