Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Recover programs

NetWorker provides you with the following tools to recover data.

• NetWorker Recover program—Recover GUI for OS-X hosts.
• NMC Recovery wizard—Recover wizard that you start from the NMC server. The NMC Recovery wizard provides a NetWorker datazone with a centralized recovery method.
• The recover command—CLI tool available on Windows, UNIX, and OS-X. Use the recover command to recover data from a command prompt. To perform multiple recovery operations in parallel, use multiple recover commands.
• NetWorker User program—Recover GUI for Windows hosts. Use the NetWorker User program to recover file system data when the administering client is Windows.
• The scanner command—CLI tool available on Windows, UNIX, and OS-X. Use the scanner command to recover data from a volume by save set ID (SSID) to the host that starts the program. To perform multiple recovery operations in parallel, use multiple scanner commands.

  When the retention value of a save set is changed, nsrmm only updates the media database record and not the save set metadata on the media. When a volume is scanned to re-create save set records in the media database using scanner, the retention values of save sets on that volume is different from the updated retention time using nsrmm. The new retention time is based on the retention information in the save set metadata on the media. For information about the new retention time for scanned save sets, see the NetWorker Command Reference Guide or UNIX man pages.
