Maybe because the incremental backup didn't find any changes? But restore
should present all files all the time as if a full backup was made.
Or am I missing something here?
1. Is that second date an older date? Is it beyond the browse policy for
the client? I've seen similar behavior on Unix when I push the browse
date back beyond what's still in the client's index.
2. Try running 'mminfo' on the backup server to determine the actual
time of the affected save set (down to the seconds) and then try setting
the browse time on the client to that exact date and time. I think by
default, NW uses the current date/time, and when you change the date to
an older value, it either uses the current time or 23:59:59?
Also, obtain the 'nsavetime' value for the affected save set as:
mminfo -s server -q 'savetime>date,name=saveset,client=clientname' -r
"name,totalsize(4),savetime,nsavetime"
Pick the appropriate nsavetime value from the list and then run:
nsrinfo -s server -t nsavetime client
and see if anything shows up and if so, what is reported. Does the
command return an error like this????:
scanning client `client' for savetime ...blah-blah-blah ... from the
backup namespace on server servername
0 objects found
If so, it's either beyond the browse time or nothing was backed up on
that date/time for that saveset.
3. Are you by any chance using different time zones on the server versus
the Windows client? Make sure the time zone on the Windows client for
your login session (where you're actually running the recover tool)
matches the time zone on the server for your login session there (or
wherever the 'mminfo' command was run). Otherwise, you might be entering
a time value that is too far ahead or behind.
4. Have you turned on any 'skip' directives? If so, you might need to
specify an exact time, particularly if it's from an earlier time on the
same day where it was previously not using a 'skip'.

Hi
Did you try to change the browse date in the recovery client ?

Objet : [Networker] Networker 7.4.4 trouble with restore
We are experiencing strange things when we want to restore from a Windows
backup.
Backup server is Windows and the client also.
What we see is that one day it is possible to see all files and the other
only the directories or sometimes nothing at all but drive letters.
The log says the backup was successful and also the number of files and size
looks ok but apparently this is no garantee for a successful restore.
We tried it with the Networker client installed but also using the UNC path
to the shares.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Could it be some Windows update
messing up things?
Thank you,
Peter
