In some case not all volumes are online. For example, when eject/withdraw some volumes. Is normal when try a recover (if any of this volume for recover are out of the Library) appear a messages " Not all volumes are on-line...".
When use recover first step is ask into recover cli for "volumes", this indicate what volumes are necessary and what of this offline (or out of library)

I got the first part. My issue though is i'm not trying to RECOVER; i'm just doing a VERIFY of various files/folders and the language it uses "recover' in the place of verify

when I do get the 'not all volumes are online' message will this prevent the verify from running or will it skip files that it may need?
Could you explain what commands you're using. To my knowledge the recover utility doesn't have a verify option to it. I've been looking at the manpage (I'm UNIX) for it and don't see any verify option. The utility simply restores files, hope you don't accidently restore files when you don't want to.
What do you think verify is? It is recover of course. So what is the difference between verify and recover? Well, both will read but recover will bring back data while verify won't. Does it make more sense now?

Also, what vesrion of NW are you using?

Hi. If you go into networker user there is an option to VERIFY files; verify that you have good backups you can recover. NOT the same as recover as far as I can tell. It's in the NW 7.4sp1 handbook on page 63 right before the seciton on de duplication
Vic, I believe verify is nothing more then recover -n
that's what I thought but it isn't. It's a verification tool (supposedly) that you can use to make sure your files can be restored. It can't be used in UNIX
I'm not aware of any extra binaries on Windows that would do that... Who told you that was extra tool?
i'm using NW 7.4sp1 on a windows box (only works for windows boxex). If you open NW user one of the options under operations is "file veriy". that's what i'm referring to
OK, I guess I was little confused here. When someone says 'verify' to me it means you want to compare the original file to the file that's one the backup tape. Yes, usually done during a backup but I thought maybe NW had a way with the recover utiltity.
In the recover manpage it says:
-n Does not write or create any files or directories when recover-ing.
So basically you're verifying that the backup media is good for those files or directories.

Great! I tjhank you guys'. I think I need to familiarize myself more with command line options!

Recover will stall when it needs the volume that is
not on-line. There will be a request to mount the
necessary volume.
Vic
there's that word again: recover!!! Why does it use that terminology during a VERIFY operation, just curious. Thanks Vic
