I'm curious as to what everyone is using for the "Images on Media" process?  If you need to do a restore outside of the "tape reports" window, how do you determine which tapes are requested from Iron Mountain or whatever off-site provider you use to perform the restores?

Our standard way is to kick off a restore, let it determine which tapes are needed, suspend the restore, call back tapes, and then resume the restore.
This usually works well but you have to be careful if there any images on DSSUs that could get deleted between the initial restore and when it's resumed.

There are ways to preview the restore to tell you which tapes are needed but why bother with a preview - you either need the restore or you don't.
