Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Cross-checking client file indexes

Perform a cross-check to verify the consistency between the client file index and the media database. If the NetWorker server finds entries in the client file index that do not have corresponding entries in the media database, it removes the client file index entries. This feature is useful, for example, if you perform an index operation and the server fails before the NetWorker server has completely updated the indexes. Once the server is running again, cross-check to accurately update the online indexes.

1. From the Administration window, click Media.
2. Click Indexes.
3. Right-click the client with the index to cross check, then select Cross Check Index.

   The following prompt appears:

   Cross-checking may take considerable time. Would you like to cross-check
   client_name?

4. Click Yes to continue. The NetWorker server displays a status box until the cross-checking is complete.
