I was one of the more recent posters on this topic. The tools I have used in the past used whichever volume was loaded as long as it was one of the ones it asked for. So, if the original backup was on volume123, and copied to volume456, a list of *all* the volumes that contain the version of the object would be displayed, the label read, and any volume (assuming it is on the list displayed) used.
