Recover from save sets marked as recycle

[ftd3]

Here is the problem. I have a volume marked as ready to recycle. It holds the last good save set from a machine that crashed, and several months later somebody realizes that they need some files from it. All of the save sets are marked as recycle. Does anyone know a command that would change the status of those Save Sets to recoverable or browseable? Thank you for any advice or help.

You may need to rescan the tape by usind scanner . There are several switch which by you can specify a perticular save set
Hope this is right

This is not possible due to the reason that the conditions
would not be met completely. Assume the status would be
browsable, it means that the file index info is present.
Changing only the status will not achieve this. However,
you have multiple recover options:
- You can rebuild the client file index for that
save set (scanner -i)
- You can recover the whole save set. For instance, you
can relocate it to a temp directory and copy your files
from there later.
- You can recover a single file or a directory by doing
a so called "automated recovery" (recover -S ssid -a
file_or_directory_name&quot. Please see the manpages for
details.
However, you must know the pathname as listed in the
client file index.

The last option is extremely useful if you want to recover
a subset from a save set where no client file index info
was never created (though it cannot be scanned). The most
important example is recovering the resource files from the
bootstrap:

recover -s bootstrap_ssid -a /nsr/res

will do this without overwriting the media index as well.
