All-
I'm having a problem with nsrck -L7 for a particular client, and I can't
figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've used nsrck -L7 dozens of times
over the years, and I don't believe I've ever encountered this particular
issue.
The NetWorker server in question is running 7.4.2 build 431 on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.2. It was upgraded from NetWorker 7.2.2 +
security patches on RHEL 4.x in mid-June.
I need to make a particular client browseable as far back as possible.
The client does monthly fulls, and has a 1 month browse and 1 month
retention policy. If I run mminfo to see what's available for the
filesystem I care about on the client in question, I see
$mminfo -ot -q 'client=backupclient.nodak.edu,name=/home' -r
'ssid,savetime,nsavetime,ssflags,level'

and so on, with everything from 06/01/08 onward still being browseable
right now. I want to be able to browse back to 05/04/08.
Here's what I see when I make a query about the index: saveset for that
client:

and so on.
I basically want nsrck -L7 to merge in indexes so that I can browse back
to 05/04/08, where right now I can only browse back to 06/01/08.
I've tried several nsrck -L7 runs, such as
nsrck -L7 -t 1212278423 backupclient.nodak.edu
and
nsrck -L7 -t 1209956256 backupclient.nodak.edu
and
nsrck -L7 -t 1212277236 backupclient.nodak.edu
In every case, the nsrck -L7 completes and I get a message similar to
Recover completion time: Wed Jul 30 18:58:26 2008
nsrck: /var/nsr/index/backupclient.nodak.edu contains 732968 records occupying
139 MB
nsrck: Completed checking 1 client(s)
However, I'm still not able to browse any further back than 06/01/08.
I've even tried changing the (current) browse and retention policy for
this client to "Quarter" and then doing the nsrck -L7, thinking that
perhaps the -L7 was succeeding but the records were just being purged
again immediately, but that didn't make a difference.
It seems like I must be missing something obvious, but I can't figure out
what it is.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim
