Hi,
I have to backup a directory with several, but not so much, files ( 
24000 ).
My savegroup completion mail logs that I have backed up much more files 
than I expect; this, sometimes, seems to be normal because, backing 
up /usr/users/app/one/two/three/file.txt I don't backup only 1 file but 8 
( all dirs and subdirs and / are included in this count ).

Just to check, I made a query to my index db, and I discovered, using 
nsrinfo in this way:

nsrinfo -t 1135161769 taxsne

that several files like
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<1>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<2>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<3>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<4>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<5>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<6>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<7>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<8>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<9>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<10>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<11>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<12>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<13>/

/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<21>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<22>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<23>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<24>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<25>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<26>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<27>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<28>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<29>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<30>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<31>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<32>/
/data/dataProtectorTempDir/2005/Dec/21//<33>/

are included in the list. 
Obviously these files are not included in the recover process and I don't 
see them using the recover command in the interactive mode, but the file 
count is not correct and the customer is not able to understand what all 
these files mean ( and me too ... :-(  )

There is somewhere an explanation about this nsrinfo behaviour?

Thenks a lot in advance for any suggestion
