Just out of curiousity, how do you change savsets from recycable to
recoverable? In my case, it's moot because they're still recoverable buy
was just curious.

Also, any idea on how long the nsrck command might take to run? The size
of the last full for this client index on 08/31/03 was 184 MB. The size
of the index that I want to merge in from 01/27/03 (one day after the
date of the previous full which contains for what I'm trying to recover)
is 448 MB.

Thanks for all your help!
