Re: [Networker] Help -- I think I deleted indexes that were in use

find out when the last full of index is done. These indexes are saved under
the backup server indexes
index:servername

do a NSRCK -L7 -t "Date and time" clientname

Date and time has to be exact.

This will bring back the indexes. Make sure the tapes are available.
