Re: [Networker] Need help recovering a piece of a saveset

recover [-f] [-n] [-u] [-q] [-i {nNyYrR}] [-d destination] -s server -S
ssid[/cloneid] [-S ssid[/cloneid]]. . . [path]. . .

−S ssid[/cloneid]
Specifies save set recover mode and can only be used by root. This mode can
be used to implement
fast batch file recovery without requiring the NetWorker file index entries.
ssid specifies the
save set id’s for the save set(s) to be recovered. When there are multiple
clone instances for a save
set, the cloneid can also be specified to select the particular clone
instance to be recovered from.
When no path arguments are specified, the entire save set contents will be
recovered. One more or
more paths can be specified to limit which directories and files are
actually recovered. If paths
are supplied, then the beginning of each path name as it exists in the save
set must exactly match
one of the paths before it will be recovered. Shell like file name matching
using meta characters
like ‘*’, ‘?’, and ‘[...]’ is not done. You can use a path that ends in with
a slash (‘/’) to force a
directory only match (e.g., use a path of /etc/fs/ instead of /etc/fs to
prevent files like /etc/fsck
from being recovered as well).

The data I need to recover is beyond the browse period so nwrecover is
no good. I thought that the 'recover' command was just the command line
version of nwrecover in which case it's likewise useless. We're running
NetWorker 6.1.1 under Solaris 8 on primary server and NetWorker 6.1.1
unde Red Hat Linux on storage node server.
