Re: [Networker] Excluding savesets and nwrecover?

Hi

I think I can help,  we had a very similar problem and after months of
investigation with support it turned out that if you use +skip to exclude,
it overwrites the index.  It was a few month ago now so all the details are
not clear in my head but I do remember the solution.  (This was running
Networker 6.02 under NT4)

change you directives to use    +nullasm: *.*    this will exclude the
files you don't want and keep the index intact.

As you are using directives to exclude data you might be interested in
another problem I have recently discovered, If a backup group is stopped or
fails and you use the RESTART option Networker ignores the directive, for
us this means no +nullasm and not compression so you end up backing up
loads more date.

Good luck

Regards Alec

Hi,

I want to be able to use nwrecover to recover a particular file, but the
parent directory that he file lives under does not show up, and I am not
beyond the browse policy.

Here's the deal: Running NetWorker 6.1.1 under solaris 2.8. I have two
instances of a given client, each in a different group. The first
instance uses a custom directive to skip the affected file system that
the desired file lives under. The second instance uses the standard Unix
directive and backs up just the parent file system. Both groups do NOT
have 'No index save' set, and both groups are members of the same pool
which has 'Store index entries' set to 'yes'. Why can we not see the
parent directory under nwrecover for the given client? If we're skipping
it in the one directive, but not in the other, why does it not show up?

I had to use saveset recover to recover it. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

George
