[Networker] Test recover of a client index?
2011-06-16 00:48:07
The question is what you really want:
- To restore the consolidated index backups (the fastest method) nsrck is the
actual procedure
- scanner rebuilds the index from the embedded metadata from each media where
the client data has been backed up to. Of course this takes much longer.
I do not see a problem to test the recover method:
- make sure that the client index is not used
- check the size with "nsrls client_name"
- rename the /nsr/index/client_name directory
- check with "nsrls client_name" - the expected response is " not found"
- run "nsrck -L2 client" to recreate the index header
- check with "nsrls client_name" - the expected response is " 0 entries"
- recover the CFI with nsrck
- check with "nsrls client_name" - you should now see the old size
- verify whether you can use the CFI during a recovery
- delete the renamed index directory
Not officially supported - but it should work.
