recover is the command line version, but it includes the -S option, for
save set recoveries, if that helps.

What are you really trying to achieve? Would you prefer a standard recovery
if only your save set was still browsable? Have you considered repopulating
your index in order to do this?

Remember that in NetWorker 6, nsrck is a very good friend. If you have an
index for the client still on tape and the save set still in the media
database, you can merge this old index into your current index using nsrck -
L7. Say for example your non-browsable backup of client fred was written on
Jan 1st, and you backed up the index at the same time, you could run:
nsrck -L7 -t "Jan 2" fred
and your index for that backup will re-appear.
I'm sure many users forget about this wonderful feature of NetWorker.
