My NetWorker server somehow becames do incredibly corrupt, that even a 
mmrecov didn't help (I think it's actuallly an OS issue, as my server 
would slow down so much that NW woulld lose connectivity to itself, the 
console would shut down, a couple times it even rebooted. Anyway ....). So 
I have completely rebuilt my NW server, manually adding clients, jobs, 
etc. 

I used to have a set of directives, that would ignore certain open files 
(temp files, locks, etc). Unfortunately, during my attempts at fixing, I 
had to mmrecov my old server with an older tape, and they all got written 
over. But I have other bootstrap tapes from before the corruption started, 
that should have the directives on them.

SO my question - how can I retrieve *just* the directives from my old 
bootstrap tape? I don't trust the validity of the mm database (hence my 
clean break, and re-install, and Tech Support concurred), but I really 
don't feel like re-entering all the directives. So is there any way to 
restore just the directives, and re-direct them to a new directory?

Thanks
