You can script, 

Either extra runs of the automatic processes 
Nsradmin would be relevant here "type: NSR Stage"

Or manually all savesets older than a certain date

Mminfo 
        Query: !ssrecycle,!incomplete, pool = ..., volume .... , savetime 
        Report: ssid,cloneid
Then nsrstage with -S

Hope this helps a bit

Maarten

Remember scripting can be fun !

Subject: [Networker] Limit Staging Operations

Hi,

we are running Networker 7.2.2 and having a staging area of 9 TB and 4 tape 
drives.

Due to operation system limitations which limits the file system to 2TB each we 
have 5 file systems for staging.

During the nichtly backups most of the data goes to the staging area.
However some database backups goes directly to tape. In the evening the data 
which was backed up 4 days ago to the staging area gets staged to tape. Because 
we have 5 staging devices the staging uses all 4 available tape drives for 
staging leaving no tape drive for the "normal"
backup to tape.

Is there a possibility to limit the time "normal"  (i.e. the volume is not at 
the high water mark and the data gets staged from disk to tape according to the 
policy) staging operations to the daytime and to avoid staging during the 
nightly backup time ?


Thanks!
