Our standard way is to kick off a restore, let it determine which tapes are
needed, suspend the restore, call back tapes, and then resume the restore.
This usually works well but you have to be careful if there any images on
DSSUs that could get deleted between the initial restore and when it's
resumed.

There are ways to preview the restore to tell you which tapes are needed but
why bother with a preview - you either need the restore or you don't.
