An error is returned stating that the file index is missing when performing file level recovery of a NetWorker client from the NetWorker Management Console (NMC):

Error Message: File Index is Missing
Figure 1: Error Message: File Index is Missing.

Resolution

On the NetWorker server, open an admin prompt and run as root:

nsrck -L7 client-name
NOTE: Client-name should match how the client name is specified in Clients tab of NetWorker Management Console; optionally the nsraldb on the NetWorker client also shows this. On the NetWorker client, open an admin prompt and run as root: 
nsradmin -p nsrexecd "nsrla"


Monitor the nsrck command output for any errors. Once completed, the client index folder should be repopulated and the data restore can be performed.

Additional Information

This is not applicable to file level recoveries of VMware Virtual Machines backed up using the NetWorker VMware Protection (NVP) vProxy appliance.
