Hmm ... I don't see that option for '-o' in our man page for nsrmm, but
we're running 7.2.2. It claims to support only:
[not]recyclable, [not]readonly, [not]full, [not]manual or [not]suspect.
Maybe the 'recoverable' option was added
in a newer release? Then again, maybe it would work even though the man
page doesn't mention it, kinda like the man page for 'mminfo' doesn't
mention the 'ssexp' attribute, but it will take it. However, I could use:
nsrmm -dP
-P When used in conjunction with the -d option the
corresponding file index entries are purged, without
deleting the entries in the media database. The
scanner(1m) command can then be used to recover the
file index entries.
Guess I'd have to do that instead? What is the difference between '-K'
and '-S' option for save? Does '-S' imply '-K'?
Another way may be to consider using archives ....

Subject: [Networker] What's the difference between these two save
command options?
I was looking at the man page for the save command. I'm unclear on the
difference between the '-K' and '-S' options.
-K Does not build connecting directory index entries.
-S Allows only save set recovery. This performs the save
without creating any index entries. This means that
the save set will not be browsable, although save set
recovery may be used to recover the data.
For example, suppose I want to back up a save set to a given pool (has
indexing turned on), but I don't want the index to get updated because
I'm willing to live with having only a recoverable save set and not a
browsable one, and maybe I'm planning to shut that path off the backups
anyway, and I don't want those index entries from the full to just get
carried along indefinitely - which it would do since I'm never gonna run
another full - then I see two options: 1. turn indexing off for the
pool, run the backup (either from server or client) and then turn
indexing back on for the pool. This is slightly dangerous, though,
because it may not complete before other groups that write to that same
pool start. 2. Simply run the save command from the client like 'save -s
server -S -b pool -l full /path'. But not sure about this '-K' option?
Do I want that, too?
