I'm araid I do not understand your problem.  When you run
"save -I file_with_include_list" from command line you will
backup only files/directories listed there.  Just did that for
a test and in my case it said 188Mb were saved.  That's
exactly how big it is what I wanted to be saved/listed.
 
Next, the index for such save has to be generated.
 
Now, if I understand correctly, your target to be saved
were index files, right?  OK, now I tried that too.  I can
see it in my index (nsrinfo output is LIFO typo).
 
When I do mminfo -av -r ssid,name I can see name to be
what I listed to be backed up include_file (in my case one
index directory).
 
recover run in a way you described runs as well and and I
can see file restored to -d destination point as expected.
 
I do not understand what you mean by "However when i 
attempt to recover this data ( with saveset recovery).The GUI
shows the progress of the read till 12 GB however only the 
include file is restored in its original location and the actual data 
is nevere restored."  Could you describe this please?

Cheers,

        Betreff: [Networker] Saveset Recovery from Include files
        
        

        Hi All,
        
        I am atempting a saveset recovery of a client for which i had
        backed approx 12 GB of index data from directories mentioned in the
        Include file.
        
        The backup command used was  "save -i -I /nsr/res/include_file".This
        backup is
        of index files of any important file server and needs to be restored at
        an alternate location.
        The mminfo shows i sucessfully backed the 12 GB data.No indexes were
        generated for this
        save.
        
        However when i attempt to recover this data ( with saveset 
recovery).The GUI
        shows the progress of the read till 12 GB however only the include file
        is restored
        in its original location and the actual data is nevere restored.
        
        I used the following command on the backup server for restore:
        
        #recover -f -d /tmp -S <ssid of org backup>
        
        I even tried to run a scanner to see if that would be able to build the
        online indexes
        and probably show the original files.But the scanner goes bersek
        throwing junk characters
        in between the scan.
        
        Any insights as to why this recovery is not able to restore the files
        within the include files ?
        
        Rgds,
        
        Monit
