Hi Brian, There is one other option, one that I believe I saw posted some time ago in this list. If you're only after a few machines, and the scope of the restore is limited, you can try the following:
At the client in question, add the line TAPEPrompt Yes to the dsm.opt file. Then go through the restore, and each time a tape is needed, you'll see a prompt for it by volser. At that point you can just press "Skip" to go to the next tape. We have used this method to pre-load some standalone 3590s during DR tests. Adam Boyer
