uasm is the module which actually does save and restore. You can use it as standalone command to copy data. uasm manual does contain some examples and more details on it.
Oldish technical bulletin 135 contain some examples with scanner and uasm. I will quote one example here: -- To recover a single filename from a volume, run one of these commands:
The m option of uasm indicates that the recovered file should be mapped (relocated) from the source to the destination directory. -- Obviously, you have endless possibilities here. As of I don't know which version with scanner you can use -x option to call uasm directly for what is passed by scanner command. To quote scanner manual: -- Extracting a save set for /usr and relocating to /mnt:
2. can not answer never tried that but would be interesting for me to know if i can import indexes of aborted save set into a database with the scanner command
You can't import them, but you can do restore using scanner+uasm from aborted saveset.
1. it is in standard admin guide for networker. downlaod available trhough powerlink download documentation. 2. can not answer never tried that but would be interesting for me to know if i can import indexes of aborted save set into a database with the scanner command
I did the recovery from aborted save set, and it completed very much fine..
Learned a new thing.... earlier I thought , if there's a aborted save set , its simply useless tape occupancy, but not anymore....
and Crevlin, 'uasm' I never heard of this earlier... great to know we have a command like this... will work on to find the various capabilities of this command.

--
To recover a single filename from a volume, run one of these commands:
scanner -s save_set_id device_name | uasm -rv filename or scanner -s save_set_id device_name | uasm -rv -m source=dest filename
The m option of uasm indicates that the recovered file should be mapped (relocated) from the source to the destination directory.

Obviously, you have endless possibilities here. As of I don't know which version with scanner you can use -x option to call uasm directly for what is passed by scanner command. To quote scanner manual:
--
Extracting a save set for /usr and relocating to /mnt:
scanner -S 637475597 /dev/nrst8 | uasm -rv -m /usr=/mnt
or
scanner -S 637475597 /dev/nrst8 -x uasm -rv -m /usr=/mnt
Extracting all save sets from client mars and relocating to /a:
scanner -c mars /dev/nrst8 -x uasm -rv -m/=/a

There is a document on this subject available via PL (white paper?)
know its not possbile in case of NDMP savesets, but
what about normal savesets ?
It's possible.
