Look again at the second statement in Thierry's response:

   "or, if you know the path of the data you need ...  recover -S
   ssid/cloneid -d relocatepath <path to recover>"

Just specify the full pathname of the files or directories you need, at the end of the command line. Only those paths are recovered.

I believe people waste way too much time recovering and rebuilding file indexes (scanner -i, nsrck -L7 -t) when a simple save set recovery could be used.

why do you want to rebuild index ?

even with expired saveset,
you can just recover entire ssid using saveset recover
As I said, I don't want the entire saveset; it is a couple hundred gigs or
more. I only want a single file out of it.
