Determining the status of a save set

Use the save set query feature in NetWorker Administration to determine the status of a save set.

1. Connect to the NetWorker server that contains the data in NMC.
2. On the Administration window, click Media.
3. In the left pane, select Save Sets.
4. In the right pane, select All Save Sets.
5. On the Query Save Set tab, specify one or more of the search criteria in the following table.

   Table 1. Query criteria

   Criterion	Description
   Client Name	Type the name of the client that is associated with the save set.
   Save Set	Type the name of the save set.
   Save Set ID	Type the identifier of the save set.
   Volume	Select the volume on which the save set is stored from the list.
   Pool	Select the media pool for the volume on which the save set is stored from the list.
   Checkpoint ID	Type the identifier of the checkpoint for partial save sets.
   Copies	To limit the save set results to the number of copies of the save set: From the Copies list, select whether the number of copies is less than (>), equal to (=), or greater than (<) a number that you specify. Specify the number in the second box.
   Save Time	Select the start and end dates and times for the save time of the save set. NOTE:The valid savetime formats are MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/CCYY format where "YY" denotes the "year" in the current century and "CCYY" denotes the century and year. If the query requires the savetime to be a year in the previous century, then use the "CCYY" format. If the query requires a timerange that includes a year in the previous century, then use the "CCYY" format.
   Clone Retention Time	Select the start and end dates and times for the retention time of a cloned save set.
   Status	Select All to view save sets of any status. Select Select from to view save sets of a specific status, and then select the checkbox next to one or more of the following statuses: Browsable Recoverable Recyclable Scanned-in Suspect Aborted In-Progress Checkpoint Enabled
   Type	Select All to view save sets of any type. Select Select from to view save sets of a specific type, and then select the checkbox next to one or more of the following statuses: Normal Raw Data Domain Synthetic Full Rehydrated NDMP Snapshot ProtectPoint
   Maximum Level	Select the maximum level of the backup. Save sets that meet the selected level and backups of levels below the selected level appear in the results.

6. Click the Save Set List tab.
   Review the results of the query in the Save Set List window for the save set that you want to recover. If the value in the status column is not browsable, then record the values in the SSID, Clone ID, and level columns.

   NOTE:When the level value is anything other than full, ensure that you record the SSID and Clone ID for the previous full backup and all level backups in between.

   The following table summarizes some of the status attributes assigned to the save set that are relevant to the process of adding save set information back into a CFI.

   Table 2. Save set status

   Status	Definition
   Browsable	The save set is browsable. The save set has not exceeded the defined retention policy.
   Recoverable	Information about the save set Information appears only in the media database. NetWorker does not allow information about some save sets, for example the bootstrap save set to appear in the CFI for browsing.
   Recyclable	The save set has expired is eligible for recycling. The save set has exceeded the defined retention policy.
   Incomplete	The save set did not complete. NetWorker does not store save set information about an incomplete save set in a CFI.
