In regard to: [Networker] Is there a way to read the indexes?, Louis Munro...:

Hello all,
I'm running networker 7.4 on solaris 10.

Is there a way to read the information in the index files?
More specifically, I need to know how many files of a certain
extension have been backed in the last year for a saveset.

Looking for mp3s?  :-)

Assuming you have client indexes going back a year, this type of thing is
easy.  Look at the nsrinfo command and search the archives for this list
for information on best to use the command.

You basically want to find the exact numeric savetime (nsavetime) for
the savesets you want to search, using something like

mminfo -ot -q 'client=your.client.name,name=/home' -r nsavetime > nsavetimes

Then use nsrinfo to report the contents of each one of those savesets:

for d in `cat nsavetimes`
do
        nsrinfo -t $d your.client.name | egrep '\.mp3'
done


Of course the commands could be combined, but I find it generally takes me
a little fiddling with the mminfo query before I have what I want to feed
to nsrinfo in the loop.

This all requires that your client indexes are still populated though.
