Hi bingo,

that was mentioned on original message, and the flags weere also explained.
(the e-amil thread is broken)

Flags are "crN", and the recovery command shows NetApp device names. It isn't 
a DSA backup.

I copy the original message  below  FYI

===================================

>I`ve tried both scanner -m or -i. The flag for the scanned save set

>So when I start a directed recovery it all seems to be correct, no error

===================================
