Re: [Networker] command line recover options?

from the man page, it looks like you want this type of command

NAME
     recover - browse and recover NetWorker files

SYNOPSIS
     recover [-f] [-n] [-u] [-q] [-i {nNyYrR}]  [-I  input  file]
     [-d  destination] [-c client] [-x index-namespace] [-t date]
     [ -s server] -a path...


so I'd suggest this is what you'd want 

recover -f -d F: -c OLD -s NWSERVER -a F:


and yes, this will get all subdirectories of the client's F: drive


if you wanted to _not_ get some directories, the best you could do is
specify every path you _do_ want and use the -I option:

     -I input file
          Takes the paths to recover from the command  line,  and
          read  paths  to recover from the named file.  The paths
          must be listed one per line.  If no paths are specified
          on the command line, then only those paths specified in
          the file will be recovered.  To be used in  conjunction
          with -a option.
 


cheers

NW 7.4.2, on Win2003.

I need to do a command line recover (as a scheduled task), and I've
always 
ever used the GUI. What I need if to recover from client OLD, drive F:
and 
all sub-directories, to be recovered to the NetWorker server, drive F:
and 
all subdirectories.

>From the NW server, would this do what I want?

recover -a -f -s NWSERVER -c OLD F: -d F:

Would this restore all the files that were most recently backed up from 
the client OLD, drive F:, to the NW server, on it's drive F:? I'm not 
seeing (or more likely, not understanding) which option to use to tell
it 
that I want the entire contents of F: (i.e, all sub-directories of F:).

If I want to exclude 2 specific folders on F: from being restored, where
I 
do that?

Thanks. The Command Reference is suspiciously short on examples for this

command.
