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 would slow down so much that NW woulld lose connectivity to itself, the console would shut down, a couple times it even rebooted. 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?

You do seem to have gone about this the hard way.
