Years ago (like 4 years ago), my NW server had a meltdown, and I recovered
it wrongly. So I lost all my history. What I've had to do create new
clients, using the old client ID, and scan old backup tapes, as needed.
Stupid, but that's what I did. But here's what I don't understand.
When I do an mminfo on one of those clients, and try to use nsrinfo to
list details of what are on those scanned tapes, nsrinfo is failing, and I
can't see why.
>mminfo -avot -q
"client=OldClient,savetime>08/30/2007,savetime<09/15/2007" -r
client,volume,name,savetime(22),nsavetime,ssflags,ssbrowse(22),ssretent(22)
client volume name date time
save time ssflags browse retention time
OldClient 01061307 H:\Users 8/31/2007
6:18:28 PM 1188598708 vF 9/30/2017 4:05:20 PM 10/30/2017 9:48:29 PM
OldClient 896846 H:\Users 8/31/2007
6:18:28 PM 1188598708 vF 9/30/2017 4:05:20 PM 10/30/2017 9:48:29 PM
OldClient 915359 H:\Users 8/31/2007
6:18:28 PM 1188598708 vF 9/30/2017 4:05:20 PM 10/30/2017 9:48:29 PM
>nsrinfo -t 1188598708 OldClient
scanning client `OldClient' for savetime 1188598708(8/31/2007 6:18:28 PM)
from the backup namespace
0 objects found
This client isn't browsable, for some reason - I thought that running
"scanner -i" on those tape volumes would re-create the index, and make
them browsable. The savesets themselves are not expired. So, I figured
that I could capture the output from nsrinfo, I could look for the one
file I want. But even nsrinfo is faling ...
What could be causing both browsing and nsrinfo to fail, if the savesets
were scanned, and neither browsing nor retention have been exceeded, and
they're not expired?
I really don't want to have to re-scan these tapes ...
