hello,
i had this error on my networker server (SBU 5.5.1)
* scr:/var/yp/etc save: WISS error, bad database header
...
06/23/04 05:33:09 nsrindexd: Warning: /nsr/index/scr/db missing file sr_x1
...

i tried to recover /nsr/index/scr/db, but it seems it was'nt on my tape!
after googling and reading this list, i do:
mary2-root% nsrck -m  scr
mary2-root% nsrck -X scr
nsrck: checking index for scr
nsrck: index for scr is missing.
nsrck: The client index is missing, recover the index or run nsrck -c to create 
the index.
nsrck: completed checking 1 client(s)
mary2-root% nsrck -c scr
nsrck: index for scr is created.
mary2-root% nsrck -X scr
nsrck: checking index for scr
nsrck: cross-checking index for scr
nsrck: completed checking 1 client(s)

so now, i hope this is ok, but:

- if i try to recover older files, with nwrecover, for example at 06/21/04 
(before error), networker says:
"Nothing in index at this time"

What can i do to recover my indexes? i have to scan tapes from the last full 
backup? and after, how can i be sure that unecessary tapes are recycables?

Thanks for hour help,
