   Table 1. Save Set details

   Column	Description
   Client	Name of the NetWorker client computer that created the save set.
   Save Set	Pathname of the file system that contains the save set. This column also includes clone information. If the save set has a clone, the pathname is marked has clones and the cloned save set is marked clone save set.
   SSID	Save set ID number.
   Checkpoint ID	Checkpoint ID number.
   Save Time	Date and time when the save set was created.
   Clone Retention Time	Date and time when the clone expires.
   Level	Level of backup that generated the save set. This refers only to scheduled backups. For manual backups, the level is blank.
   Status	Status of the save set, such as whether the save set is browsable or recoverable.
   Size	Size of the save set. NOTE: For every save set, the backup data size and the space that the backup data occupies on the disk are different. The backup data size is less than the space it occupies on the disk. The size of backup reported by NetWorker is the backup data size and not the space it occupies on disk.
   Flags	Flags that provide additional details about the save set. The first flag indicates which part of the save set is on the volume: c indicates that the save set is completely contained on the volume. h indicates that the save set spans volumes and the head is on this volume. m indicates that the save set spans volumes and a middle section is on this volume. t indicates that the save set spans volumes and the tail section is on this volume. The second flag provides the save set status: b indicates that the save set is in the online index and is browsable. r indicates that the save set is not in the online index and is recoverable. E indicates that the save set is eligible for recycling and may be overwritten at any time. a indicates that the save set aborted before completion. Aborted save sets with targets of AFTD or DD Boost devices never appear in the Volume Save Sets dialog box or in mminfo reports because such save set entries are immediately removed from the media database. i indicates that the save set is still in progress. The third flag is optional and provides the following information for the save set: N indicates that the save set is an NDMP save set. R indicates that the save set is a raw partition backup (such as for a supported module). P indicates that the save set is a snapshot backup. The fourth flag is optional. If the fourth flag appears, the value is s to indicate that the save set is an NDMP save set backed up by the nsrdsa_save command to a NetWorker storage node.
   VBA	Provides details about a VBA save set.
