What exactly is the difference between all those 'v's? It's not clear from the man page for savegrp what adding three v's versus two versus one accomplishes. Can you just keep adding 'v's ad infinitum?

You can use up to five "vs" in any NetWorker command, but any more than five will simply be ignored. Each "v" generates more details. I don't know what the specific differences are with each succeeding "v" but if you're curious, try it and find out.


Anyway, I ran this as 'savegrp -vvv group_name' and it did generate a fair amount of information on what files were backed up for the affected savesets. Kinda cool. I see the same information in the savegroup e-mail completion notification. It also shows up in the group control window, too, and in the servers /nsr/logs/messages file. However, I see nothing under /nsr/tmp on the client, not even when I was running it. I tried doing this from the GUI also by setting Verbose on under the group, and again, it generates the information in the savegroup notification and the group control window, but I see nothing under /nsr/tmp.

The files I referred to are stored on your NetWorker server's /nsr/ tmp directory, not the respective clients.
