Sure.  You've said your browse period is 1 year.  Assuming you still have
volumes that have backups of the client index that were taken within a
year after the saveset you wish to recover data from, you can use "nsrck -L7
-t <some date>" to merge those index entries into your current index for the
client, and as soon as you do, you'll be able to browse back to that time.

If you know the exact path of the file(s) within the saveset, you can
also just do a "saveset recover" that only restores that file (or those
files).  You still end up having to read sequentially through that
saveset, but the files are restored as their found in the saveset.  No
index entries needed.
