Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Accessing log files using a directed recovery operation

1. To connect to the NetWorker server that backed up the source client data, start the NetWorker User program by using the winworkr command with the -s option:

   winworkr -s server_name

   If the -s option is not included, and there is only one server that is detected, that server is connected automatically. If there are no servers that are detected or if there is more than one server available, the Change Server dialog box appears, enabling you to choose the server.

2. To open the Source Client dialog box, click Recover.
3. Select the source client, which is the recovered client, and then click OK.
4. Select the destination client for the recovered data, and then click OK.
5. From the Options menu, select Options, specify a folder location in which to relocate the recovered log files, and then click OK.
6. In the Recover window, select the log files to recover.
   The log files are typically located in the following directory:

   X:\Program Files\EMC Networker\nsr\logs

7. To begin the directed recovery, click Start.
