Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Recovering data from partial save sets

If there is a complete sequence of partial save sets that span the original save set, then you can browse to and recover individual files and directories. If the sequence of partial save sets is incomplete and does not make up the original save set, then you must perform a save set recovery to recover the data from the partial save set.

To recover data from partial save sets that span the original save sets, perform a query for all partial save sets, and then use either the NetWorker User program on Windows or the recover program on UNIX to restore the data.

The steps to recover data from a single partial save set are the same as save set recovery from a complete save set. The partial save set contains only files that were successfully backed up. You cannot browse partial save sets.

When you perform a save set recovery of a partial NDMP save set, the recovery process recovers all partial save sets in the checkpoint sequence. You cannot recover data in a partial save set separately from other partial save sets in the checkpoint sequence.

Use the nsrinfo command to display the contents of a partial save set.
