Hello;

You need position between the first backup and the last backup.

When I started teaching NetWorker classes for Legato during the NW 4.x days, I had to verify for myself that deleted files weren't recovered during a browsable recovery and that renamed files were recovered only under their final name. Sure enough, that is the way it worked, supposedly due to information stored in the CFI. For many years the Legato admin course actually had a lab showing this behavior.

Yesterday I verified the same proper behavior is still there in NW 7.5.1 (Windows 2003 NW server) with the following test:

1.  Create a folder C:\Tester containing "file1", "file2", and "deleted".

2. Do a full backup of a test group containing a client whose save set list contains "C:\Tester".

3.  Delete "C:\Tester\deleted".
4.  Do an incremental backup of the test group.
5.  Rename "C:\Tester\file2" to "C:\Tester\renamed".
6.  Do another incremental backup of the test group.

Firing up NetWorker User and looking in "C:\Tester", the only files listed are "file1" and "renamed". Thus, the deleted file is not recovered and the file that was renamed is recovered only under its final name.

Hmm ... I was always under the impression that this was not the case, at least not with a browsable recover. I thought the whole point of a browse recover was that NW was supposed to be able to rebuild the directory, or file system, exactly the way it last appeared, so it ought to remove deleted files since the deletion of files gets updated in the client index, assuming, of course, that they were ever backed up.

In the old days, this wasn't possible.  An unmodified file wouldn't be
backed up in an incremental saveset, so the server couldn't distinguish
between "not modified" and "deleted".  Where is the image of the
filesystem kept that would show file deletions?
