I snip all the thread with Arno.
Time ago, I've to do exactly the same. But doesn't need to recreate
informations in catalog.
So I've use bscan to locate the file extracting the list to a file (without -m
and -s ).
Iv'e use a text editor to extract the list of files I'm looking for.
And after that I've use bextract with the include file inside a temp directory.
Prerequist is that I knew where file reside (in which vol) and the volume name.
Perharps You could use directly bextract if you know what file you want...
Hope this could help you a bit.
