Hi,

looks like you have several problems.

1.) scanner -i don´t work with ndmp (will only insert SSIDs into mediadb 
if lost for any reason)
 
so use scanner -m instead (only if SSIDs not exist in media DB)

2.) to rebuild the index for ndmp only "nsrck -L7 -t date clientname" work


after 1.) you should see SSIDs from the tape (but be carefull, if a 
spanned saveset (over several tapes) you must user scanner on all tapes 
and in correct order

increase browse or retention time in the client properties work only for 
new savesets
for doing this for older savesets you have to use "nsrmm -w -e"

be careful with mminfo -av (only browseable savesets will be shown) - so 
in this case you will see nothing

please try mminfo -q volume=barcode -r SSID,name, savetime, flag
there you should see the SSIDs - if not you have to do the scan for all 
tapes
and after seeing alle SSIDs with mminfo (which means all Savesets are in 
the MediaDB)
you can search for index saves of the mentioned client
mminfo -q name=index:clientname -r SSID, savetime, level

so you see which index you have and can be recovered.

Hope this help.

[Networker] NDMP Restore, Expired Savesets & Scanner






Hello,
I am attempting to restore an expired saveset on NetApp Filer, for some 
reason, i don't seem to be able to scan the tapes with 
scanner -i or m and view any savesets on the volume, scanner completes 
fine but the volume tab shows no savesets.
There are total of 4 tapes in question for this saveset of NDMP type and 
they are all behaving same way.
I have increased the BP & RP of the client in question but the saveset 
still does not applier in the list of saveset recovery for the client.
I have also tried using nsrck -L7 -t "clientname" with the date from the 
tape and Networker asks for different tapes then what i know to have the 
saveset contained, i know this are the tape, since i had recovered the 
same save set few days ago, using the same tapes, but at that time the 
saveset were in media dB.
mminfo -av -V "volume name" does not display any saveset either.
What am i missing, do i need to scan on the NDMP device with different 
switch ?
What is the best way to recover the expired saveset ?
Thanks
