And also from the nsrck man page:
Level 7 recovers an online file index from backup media,
rebuilds the internal key files, and rebuilds the index
header. The -t date option may be used to recover the index
as of a specific time. Note that recovering the index to a
specific time adds the entire contents of the index as of
that time to the current index contents. This option allows
browsing of save sets that have passed their browse policy
and are still recoverable. The save sets referred to by the
recovered index will be marked as browsable. They will
remain browsable for the length of time they were originally
browsable.
So your newer recovered older indexes would be added to the recent ones,
and would stay that way for 1 month. It would make sense to take from
that that restores of the indexes done for the current month would
include the past indexes as well (as long as it's before their 1-month
re-expiry time.)
