!! URGENT: can't change browse time
Hi all,
I'm using 7.2.2 server on Windows. I need to restore some save set whose browse time is expired but retention time is ok. According to docs, I used
nsrmm -S ssid -w 5/30/2009
It gives me "nsrmm: Cannot extend browse time of a recoverable save set"
I searched through forum but no results. I'll need the indexes very urgent, please help..
Best regards,
Atatur

Your indexes are in the folder /nsr/index/clientname, when a backup runs this files in this directory are updated with contents of the new backup; when the browse period is passed the relevant files are removed.
When an index is backed up the files in /nsr/index/clientname are backed up. These remain on tape until the corresponding original backup passes out of its retention; they are then marked as recyclable.
If your backup has passed out of its browse period and the files in /nsr/index/clientname have been deleted they normally can be restored using nsrck -L7 clientname. In your case it appears that the index backup has been deleted. This means we have to make a new index rather than recover a backup of an index.
The scanner -i command will read through the tape; it will find what files are on the tape and write new files in the /nsr/index/clientname folder listing what files are on the tape which will allow us to browse through the files in the GUI or at the recover command and Networker will then be able to take our file selection and locate the relevant section of backup and read the data back in.

Sorry for my previous hurry post. I incorrectly stated the problem; I recovered one set of indexes by using
nsrck -t "3/29/09" -L7 client1
But for the second client, I get;
nsrck: File index error: can't find index backup for client2 on server bck-srv
Best regards,

nsrck -L7 -t "mm/dd/yyyy" client
where mm/dd/yyyy is the date by which you need to recover the index and client is the machine that has the information that you need.

1) scanner -i -S SSID --> to recreate the index
2) Recover by SSID

mminfo -av -s server -c client
Also, from the output of above, I derived the necessary volume is ABC24L3, but from the Networker Recover GUI, the relevant save set is on ABC16L3??

1. Determine the saveset id of the saveset you wish to recover using mminfo, also determine the volume it is on
2. Set the saveset to notrecycable and with a retention period greater than today using nsrmm
3. After this try nsrck -L7 -t time clientname, if that fails rebuild the index:
4. Rebuild the index by loading without mounting the tape then using scanner -i -S ssid /drivepath - if it spans volumes it will reach the end and ask you to load the next volume; once this completes that saveset will be browsable

Only thing that remains seems to apply scanner command with "-i -S ssid" options.
Thanks for your attention..

There seems 2 SSIDs relevant to my indexes and I used "scanner -i -S SSID1" to recreate index. Command succeeds but neither from Recover GUI or "nsrinfo -s server -n oracle client1" shows the supposedly recreated index.
What I'm doing wrong?
