It's been awhile since I've had to run scanner but if I remember
correctly it will scan the whole tape from the beginning looking
for the saveset unless you use the -f and -r options to give it
the file and record numbers of the saveset on the tape. You can
find these out using "mminfo -q ssid=?? -r volume,mediafile,mediarec".
Obviously this only works if the saveset is still in the media
database, if not you have no choice but to wait for the whole tape
to scan
