Hello all,

I am trying to restore a file from a backup which is on an adv_file device which is being staged at the moment. Since stage and restore are not supported for concurrent operation I was hoping to be able to get the files via direct file access as described in the 7.2 Admin guide on page 265. In my opinion I satisfy all the conditions on that page, as I run as root on the server. I didn't find any flag which can be used to instruct Networker to directly access the files.

I get the following error message which seems to me to mean that recover is trying to use nsrmmd.

recover> vol
Volumes needed (all on-line):
        DBODefault.008.RO at /DBOZ/TAUDefault/_AF_readonly

recover: Total estimated disk space needed for recover is 52 MB.

Requesting 1 file(s), this may take a while...
NSR server `legato.tau.ac.il': busy
recover: waiting 30 seconds then retrying

The Networker server runs 7.2.2+adv_file hotfix on Solaris 10. The backups are on a ZFS if that matters.
