Recovering a single file to a different location on Windows

To recover a single file in the save set on Windows to a different location, type:

scanner -v -S ssid -f mediafile -r mediarec device | path\uasm -rv -m source_dir=dest_dir filename

Where:

• source_dir is the directory where the data resided during the backup.
• dest_dir is the directory where the data is relocated during the recovery.
• filename is the name of the file or directory to recover.

Recover a complete saveset on UNIX

To recover all files in a save set on UNIX, type:

scanner -v -S ssid -f mediafile -r mediarec device -x path/uasm -rv

Recovering a single file to a different location on UNIX

To recover a single file in the save set on UNIX and to a different location, type:

scanner -v -S ssid -f mediafile device -x path/uasm -rv -m source_dir=dest_dir filename

The UNIX man page and the NetWorker Command Reference Guide provides detailed information about the scanner program.

Recovering when save set spans more than one volume

When the save set spans more than one volume, scan the volumes in the order in which they were written:

scanner -v -i -S ssid -f mediafile -rmediarec device

Where:

• mediafile is the starting file number for the save set, obtained from the mminfo output.
• mediarec is the starting record number for the save set, obtained from the mminfo output.
• device is the name of the device the volume is loaded. For example, /dev/rmt0.1 or \ \.\Tape0.

Scanner Long Term Retention (LTR)

When you rebuild the savesets using the scanner command with -e flag, and also specify the date or time range, the scanner warns the admin with a list of rebuilding savesets that will expire within the specified date or time range.

Following are a few scanner commands:

scanner -m -e 2 months devicename

scanner -n -e 2 months devicename
