Looking for verification. I need to do a restore from a tape that has 
expired. Ordinarily, I would change the expiration dates on the CFI 
saveset, and the saveset I want to recover, and nsrck -L7. Unfortunately, 
I recalled the wrong tape .. and we're closed tomorrow, and I wouldn't get 
the tape until Monday.

What I do have, though, are the tapes with the actual data savesets on 
them. So, to avoid waiting days for a index tape to come back, I should be 
able to do:

Scanner -i -S <saveset ID I need> \\Tape2147483636 (i.e., the tape device 
as shown in NMC; I would be doing this from Windows)

And that should rebuild just the index I need, and I can then do a 
recover? (I don't want the entire saveset, only 1 file in it). That should 
rebuild the index; I can then change it's expiration; browse using the GUI 
to the file I want, and go.

Yes?
(Been a long time since I've had to do a scanner command like that)
