[Networker] Recovering an older index?

Hi,

I want to recover an instance of a directory that is older than thebrowse policy for the given client. The clientis only able to browse back to 09/26/06, and I need it from 09/14/06.I'd do a save set recover, but the save setis huge, and I only need a small directory. Also, there would be a bunchof instances to have to piece back

together, many of which, while not huge, are fairly large.

I ran 'nsrck -L7 -t 09/20/06 client' to merge in an older index(size=620 MB, level=9) with the current one. What I should have probablydone is picked the previous one from 09/23/06 which was a level full(size=1022 MB), but I missed that one.

Anyway, it requested an older volume with a full index from 05/15/06(size=923 MB). That was the previous level full. Not surewhy it wanted that volume when I specified 09/20/06? Well, it recoveredthat older index, and now it's just sitting. No prompt back yet.I ran truss against the nsrck process, and it's cranking away, not idle.I would guess that it's performing some kind of update at this point,but it certainlyhas been running for a while now. The size of the index for this clientprior to this escapade was about 977 MB.


1. Any ideas why it wanted to recover from the older full?

2. Does running 'nsrck -L7' also run 'nsrck -L6'?

How long can I expect this to take?

George
