My NetWorker server somehow becames do incredibly corrupt, that even a mmrecov didn't help (I think it's actuallly an OS issue, as my server

Anyway ....). So

I have completely rebuilt my NW server, manually adding clients, jobs,

etc.

I used to have a set of directives, that would ignore certain open
files
(temp files, locks, etc). Unfortunately, during my attempts at
fixing, I
had to mmrecov my old server with an older tape, and they all got
written
over. But I have other bootstrap tapes from before the corruption
started,
that should have the directives on them.

SO my question - how can I retrieve *just* the directives from my old

bootstrap tape? I don't trust the validity of the mm database (hence
my

clean break, and re-install, and Tech Support concurred), but I really don't feel like re-entering all the directives. So is there any way to

restore just the directives, and re-direct them to a new directory?

Move the recovered /nsr/res file to a different machine,

OK .. recover how? These are on the bootstrap tape? I'd need to scan the tape first, into ... the new server, then run a directed restore somewhere else? I have my new server almost all setup (except for the directives). Are you saying to install a 3rd NW server (the old server, currently not running, the new replacement server, and a temporary server as the target

for the restore?

Thanks for the help, and sorry if I'm being obtuse.

install the same version of NetWorker you have in production. Keep the

other

server off-line (so it doesn't shut down the production server due to
a license conflict) and you should be able to see the directives and
copy and paste them to a text file.
