Hi,

We had a Celerra that was backing up CIFS shares via NDMP over ethernet.

This system was decommissioned last year and the filesystems broken up etc and 
the server replaced.


Since then we do NDMP with Drive Sharing etc and it works much better.


But now the CIFS server that was decommissioned needs to have some data 
restored.

We tried all sorts of things, all of them resulting in the recover giving us no 
data.


The Indexes are all apparently browsable and the tape media is all present.

But for whatever reason, we can't restore any data, the best we got so far was 
an empty directory.

The old system was running Legato 7.2.1 with NDMP.   We are now on 7.4.2.

We have been running commands similar to:

nsrndmp_recover -s nsrserverhost -c our_celerra  -m our_celerra ::/vol1_staff 
-S 3087846177 /root_vdm_1/vol1_staff/MiscShares

From the MSW system that has a view into the celerra. The SSID represents a goodly share of the

filesystems we want to restore.

Is there a way to override any verifies etc
that may be blocking the restore?

We just want the data back onto a disk somewhere
so it can be manually trolled through.

So far we are getting nowhere with this fast.
