Should be possible (but not sure if you need to restart NW after change).

I doubt that this will work - at least not w/o the option "-T directory". See the Command Line Reference for details.

As NW will use absolute pathnames my guess is that it will restore to whatever has been used at the time of the backup.

It might work with save set restores where you can define another destination path. But who wants to use that method ...

Isn't -T used only as tempdir?  Eventually, you can always play with symlinks and have it go somewhere else...

We are thinking of doing it in a proccess of restoring client index in a migration of the Networker Server to a new host.

The networker server has the client indexes in several directories now, not in the default path, because the disk was nearly full.

In the restore process we would like to restore to the default index path, so I have tried with one client to set the Index Path empty and then the restore with

nsrck -L7 client

is done to the default index path:      networker_installation_path/nsr/index/clientname

We have tried a restore of a file and it works.

So we are thinking in restore all the client indexes to the default path in this manner

Do you see any future issue?

no, it should work as it worked for mentioned client.

Hi Hrojve,

I have never use "-T". I just thought about it as this is obviously the only way to specify another directory.
