Hi Michael


If you have not recovered the client file index for the old saveset then 
that's expected behaviour. Not sure whether you have done so yet. I assume 
you haven't, as I don't see the "S" flag which means "scanned-in".

When the (on-line) client file index does not contain information of some 
saveset, then that saveset is only "recoverable" (that's what the error 
message says in this case) but not "browsable", and therefore, the browse 
time cannot be changed.

The index entries of a saveset can be recovered with nsrck using the savetime 
(or even better the nsavetime to avoid issues with the date locale).


Example command:
   nsrck -L7 -t <nsavetime> <client-name>

This should recover the file index back to the time when the saveset was 
created. 

Just one more thing. The ssflag "i" means,  "incomplete". I can't tell if this 
may be causing some other problems with the recovery of the index.
