You may have to specify the time of your last full to recover from.
If not, it recover the latest saveset (even an incr one).

PS : if you recover now, the recovered data will be appened to
the actual one, no problem for what has been added into your 
client index files during the meantime on the new server.
Hope that helps,

Thierry

Is it normal for the "nsrck -L7" operation to take ~5 minutes to restore
a single clients 30M index (happening to me now)?  I've got 10G of
indexes which means it will take way too long...

Thanks
