Networker saveset recovery specifing entire folder

Hi Micky,

You can restore by SSID (recover -d /tmp -S ).

For get ssid of the saveset what you want restore execute this command below or search in media volumes.

mminfo -ot -q "client=client_name" -r sscreate,ssretent,name,volume,ssid

Or change de retention of this saveset with command nsrmm (nsrmm -e mm/dd/yy -w mm/dd/yy -S ).

For this second option you will have to do more things, try the first option...

Regards.

sorry I'll explain myself a bit clearer.

I'm trying to recover from a saveset which is out of browse retention but data is still within retention.

I'm selecting the saveset version within Networker User but only need to restore a specific folder within the saveset.

I am also redirecting the data to an area on the backup server.

I click Files to specify the folder to restore e.g.

N:\Share\Folder\folder\

The recover only restores the folder names with no file content.

Do I need to include a wildcard e.g.

N:\Share\Folder\folder\*

Just run this command:

     recover -s server -S ssid[/cloneid] -a full_source_pathname [other options]

Careful - the pathname must exactly match (upper & lower chars).

Thanks Bingo but how do you specify all files within a directory to be restored? (is there a wildcard option e.g. *.*)

I ask this because up to now the restores have only recovered the folder name with no contents.

I also need to change the destination client and path.

NW will just recover every object where it finds an entry containing this string in the CFI. Consequently, it will work without wildcards. In fact such would be wrong as neither '*' nor '*.*' is listed in the CFI. And remember: lower/upper case matters.

As this is a 'partial' save set recovery, it can be redirected to another path (-d) but it can not be redirected to another client.

Try it - it works.
