I have a few basic questions and am still fuzzy after searching the web...

1. I am looking for a little help w/ finding which volumes are needed for a 
restore. I would like to be able to run a command to find the volumes needed to 
restore dirs/files on a particular host on a particular date. My thoughts were 
to use mminfo but am not sure about the syntax.

I tried this...

(neptsbak1)/ # mminfo -a -c neptslux -t'11/06/04' | grep full
NEW056         neptslux    11/06/04  42 GB    full  /u1/luminx
NEW057         neptslux    11/06/04  78 GB    full  /u1/luminx
NEW058         neptslux    11/06/04  35 GB    full  /u1/luminx
NEW058         neptslux    11/06/04 1087 MB   full  /opt
NEW059         neptslux    11/06/04  30 GB    full  /u1/luminx
NEW059         neptslux    11/06/04 818 MB    full  /users
NEW060         neptslux    11/06/04  22 GB    full  /u1/luminx
NEW060         neptslux    11/06/04 1155 MB   full  /
NEW060         neptslux    11/06/04 2743 MB   full  /var

Where 11/6/04 is my weekly full backup. The output just seems to list
too many tapes. To confirm [and not sure if this is the right way] I used
nwadmin to view "save set clone" and selected the date 11/6/04 and only
the following volumes were listed...

neptslux  NEW060  11/06/04  full  /
neptslux  NEW058  11/06/04  full  /opt
neptslux  NEW057  11/06/04  full  /u1/luminx
neptslux  NEW059  11/06/04  full  /users
neptslux  NEW060  11/06/04  full  /var

Currently this is very painful since I run the recover command changetime and 
check which volume.



2. How do I use the recover command to restore data from one server to another 
server. I am thinking this needs to be run on the host which is getting the 
restore.
The problem is the dircetory structure is different.

recover -s <networkerserver> -c <client> -d<destinationhost> directory to browse


Thanks in advance....
Steve
