Hi,

Is there a way to determine what path a given file or directory may have
existed under?

I had a user who wanted to recover a directory (I'll call it
/home/user_name/mydir/foo), but he could not remember for exactly where
in his home directory the directory lived. He thought it was under
"mydir", but he wasn't certain. I ran nwrecover from his client and
looked for it under there from the date requested, but I did not see it.
I then poked around in a few other directories and finally found it
quite by accident. It was not where he expected it. I know about the
"View"->"Versions" functionality, but this only helps when you have a
path. So, if you don't have a path, but you have the name and the date,
how do you find it without recovering the entire file system?

Seems to me since the client index is supposed to contain this
information, at least for the browse policy time period, then there
ought to be a way to do some kind of search or find command within the
index to determine the path or all paths that would have contained a
file with that name on that day, right? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

George
