Index recoverable to browsable

Index is always recoverable saveset.

What you should check is the actual saveset you wish to restore in which state it is.

Hello!

Please review this EMC knowledgebase article.  It should help:

I am still having problems with this. The savesets I want to restore now some Orracle RMAn backups are in recoverable. I have don nsrck -t -L7 for the client but no avail.

I still can see the Inedx for the date is recoverable.

Here is the article information in case you have trouble accessing it on powerlink:

Resolution
1. Recover the data as well as update the index and media database.

What about retention?  If retention of the saveset didn't pass for Oracle saveset, then nsrck -L7 should work.  If it passed, you must change retention time first, make saveset recoverable with nsrmm and then call nsrck -L7.

Les hago una consulta, perdon pero no manejo muy bien el Ingles, el comando scanner es muy lento y nos demanda muchas horas en las cuales no podemos disponer de los tapes, existira alguna forma de pasar un save set del recoverable a browseable pero sin ejecutar el comando scanner? 

Por ejemplo cuando el save set pasa al estado recoverable  save set ID desaparece,  con lo cual no es posible ejecutar el comando nsrmm, pero yo me pregunto si existira la forma de recuperar desde algun backup viejo ese save set ID para luego ejecutar el nsrmm? 

Se podra  hacer un update del index and media database bajando la informacion de algun backup anterior a la fecha de expiracion o incluso restaurandolo de esa misma cinta?

Desde ya muchas gracias.

Saludos.

Manchi-tn,

I have used a translator for the text below in case it is of help, but it may not be 100% accurate so if you can read English it would be best: -

English version:

I have translated your post and I think there may be some misunderstanding or translation issue, I will try and advise: -

When a saveset (index or normal) becomes recoverable the ssid is still available in the NetWorker Media Database along with other information for the backup but not the individual file details. At this point we only know the actual saveset name. Mminfo command can be used to interrogate the Media Database, nsrinfo is used to see the Client File Index detail.

If you do know the exact path to the file you wish to recover then you do not need to try and repopulate the index as from the command line you can specify the path and other details of the backup and we will be able to get this back. This however does not work for directory recoveries as you will only get the actual directory and not its contents.

Index savesets are always recoverable and belong to the NetWorker server. Savesets are browsable and have all the details until this date is passed and NetWorker performs its housekeeping to clean up the client file index.

We have a Support solution deals with what you require - it is only necessary to run Scanner when the volume information no longer resides within the Media Database which usually is not the case unless your bringing a tape in from another NetWorker server: -

esg98649 – Recovering backups with expired browse/retention times.

Spanish version:

Yo he traducido su puesto y creo que puede haber algún problema de malentendido o traducción, voy a tratar y aconsejar:-

Cuando se convierte en un saveset (índice o normal) recuperable el ssid sigue estando disponible en la base de datos de NetWorker Media junto con otra información para la copia de seguridad pero no detalles de archivos individuales. En este momento sólo sabemos el nombre de saveset reales. Mminfo comando puede utilizarse para interrogar a la base de datos de medios de comunicación, nsrinfo se utiliza para ver el detalle del índice del archivo de cliente.

Si conoce la ruta del archivo que desea recuperar, a continuación, le exqact no es necesario tratar de repoblar el índice a partir de la línea de comandos puede especificar la ruta de acceso y otros detalles de la copia de seguridad y podremos volver este. Esto sin embargo no funciona para recuperaciones de directorio como sólo obtendrá el directorio actual y no su contenido.

Índice de savesets siempre son recuperables y pertenecen al servidor NetWorker. Savesets son navegables y tienen todos los detalles hasta esta fecha se pasa y NetWorker realiza su limpieza para limpiar el índice del archivo de cliente.

Contamos con un apoyo de solución se ocupa de lo que necesita, sólo es necesario ejecutar analizador cuando la información de volumen ya no reside en la base de datos de medios de comunicación que no suele ser el caso a menos que el llevar una cinta desde otro servidor de NetWorker:-

Hi Thanks for the update. I am long done with this and cannot remember anymore how it cleared. It was at my former job. But this can come in handy at a later time.

I have saveset where mminfo shows still in retention/not expired until tomorrow but not browsable...any idea?

mminfo -q client=nas-01 -r sscreate,ssbrowse,ssid,cloneid,volume,pool,ssretent,name,level,ssflags -t "2 months ago" | findstr EVAL

---truncated--

but cant see /root_vdm_1/EVAL under recover GUI..

the versions shown by right click on the path is the next cycle's(March) Full onwards..

I have have browse able save-set from 2013 but when i use the gui to perform the restore i browse the date required in 2013 but the when do a check media it reports Unknown ?

Why ?

I ran scanner -ivv -S SSID \\.\Device ID

We cannot answer your question because we do not know what one has been done.

However - if the SSID is valid, then NW should also know about the media.

On the other hand - if you just remember the SSID but you have deleted it or the volume from the media index, then NW does not know the media any longer.

You should run "mminfo -q ssid= -r mminfo,volume" to verify that.

Unfortunately you did not state the result of the scanner command.

After the scanner completed i can see the Data from 2013 in saveset for the media and it browseable

So if i run the Networker User and browse to the Date in 2013 i can browse the files and select the file to be restore.

But if i do a check media required it states unknown media ?

Sorry, but you just repeat yourself.

You see the facts - we just can use our imagination to help you.

So did you verify at all what I suggested?
