Thanks Davina and Ted for your help with the "cannot browse client
index" problem. Yep, you guys were right on the mark. DON'T press
Ctrl-C! WHY did you press Ctrl-C?! I don't know. Why do they always go
into the woods or down to the cellar in those horror movies? It was
dumb, I admit it, and after re-running it, and letting it do its thing,
all is fine and well in Mudville.

Two questions, though:

1. After having merged in this full index from 01/26/03, I noticed that
I can now browse back to November 24, 2003, but not any earlier. I would
have thought that merging in that old index would only allow me to go
back to 01/26/03, but it looks like NetWorker does more than just give
you the pieces parts from that date. It appears that it merges in the
entirety of the index as of that time. So, as of 01/26/03, I would have
been able to browse back to 11/24/03, so it maintains this?

2. Why can I also now browse stuff from every date between 11/24/03 and
now? I mean, why would recovering that old index allow me to browse
stuff from say March 2003? I haven't actually tried recovering anything
after 01/26/03, but I would think it would give me the "nothing in
index" message if I tried anything between the oldest stuff in the
current browse policy and anything "after" 01/26/03. I guess NetWorker
has to increase the index to allow that older merged stuff in, but where
did the entries from March 2003, April 2003, etc. come from? They would
not have been contained in a full index from January 2003, right? And
the browse policy on this client is only one month.

Thanks.

George

PS "You didn't by any chance press Ctrl-C, did you?" LOL!  Oh boy ...
