Just a quick question - what IS the goal here?


I think Steve's first sentence was the key:

Subject: [Networker] File query via ssid

I'm looking for a way to browse the specific files that were
backed up within a specific ssid.



"Browse" was probably an unfortunate choice, because it has connotations
to a long-time NetWorker user that Steve probably didn't mean.  I
interpreted his question as "how do I figure out what files were backed
up in a saveset?".

Davina answered Steve's question perfectly, as Davina always does.  It
*can* be done, and it's easy, once you know about nsrinfo.

The odd thing about nsrinfo that trips everyone up is that it doesn't use
the ssid as an argument -- it uses time and client name to list what
was backed up in a saveset.  I've been using NetWorker longer than you
have, and why it uses time rather than ssid has always been a mystery to
me.

So, as Davina said, to get a list of the files that were backed up in
any particular saveset, you perform two steps:

- given a ssid, find its nsavetime (and client, if you don't know that):

        $ mminfo -q ssid=3180210349 -r 'nsavetime,client'
          save time client
         1183721635 dogbert.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu

- take the nsavetime and the client name, and use that with nsrinfo:

        $ nsrinfo -t 1183721635 dogbert.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu
        scanning client `dogbert.cc.ndsu.nodak.edu' for savetime 1183721635(Fri 
Jul  6 06:33:55 2007) from the backup namespace
