It used to put a '.nsr' file in the index directory.  I haven't checked

Now that's a separate question.  I'm sure that I've recovered
'/nsr/index/*' before.  But it's not a recovery from a flat-file backup.
It's recovering from the nsrindexasm backups.  Are you just doing a
normal recover, or are you doing a saveset recover?
