Polycenter Full Recover

I'd like to recover everything I can for a certain file system off of a
certain set of Polycenter (actually Networker V2.2A (gasp)) tapes.
Some of the files I want to recover are no longer in the on-line
indexes. I would prefer not to clutter the on-line indexes with these
old files and risk filling up my index area.

Am I correct when I say I have to run:

    scanner /dev/nTapeName >> saveSets

for each tape and then run:

    scanner -s saveSetID /dev/nTapeName | uasm -r -v -i Y -m /olddir=/newdir

on each tape with the corresponding saveSetID(s) from saveSets?

Is there a better way? Like can I somehow recover on saveset name instead of
id? Or is there an even better way?

Thanks,
