Re: [Networker] Browse Time vs. Retention time for Exchange backups?

For Networker Modules in general, you should set 
browse policy = retention policy. Like MS Exchange, 
recover cannot be done without Client file index extries.
You cannot recover an exchange server using SSID, for eg. 

But no problem : If Browse < Retention and browse policy 
expired, you have to rebuild index using scanner.

BTW, sharing experience with the others, index rebuild procedure
changed between nsr 6 and 7 : 
1) To rebuild an index of a Saveset or module, first the 
ssid has to be recoverable (retention not expired yet). 
If it is expired, use "nsrmm -S ssid -o norecyclable" 
to put it back recoverable again. 
2) Then, extend browse (and retention) in the future.
3) Then finally, launch scanner -I 

If you do not extend browse and retention in the future,
scanner will finish correctly but indexes will be purged
as soon as scanner finished. So, you believe scanner is NOT
working. Compare both nsr6 and nsr7 admin guides.

Subject: [Networker] Browse Time vs. Retention time for Exchange
backups?

A client just asked me this question, and I've never thought about it 
before, and I don't do Exchange restores...

If the browse time for an Exchange backup session is set less than the 
retention time, what issues may there be in doing a restore that is 
beyond the browse time? How would one go about doing a restore?
