Re: [Networker] SaveSet recover question
2008-08-20 10:05:57
Hello Michael,
I haven't paid close attention to all of your posts. However, I am
wondering if you ran scanner on each tape individually, or if you ran
scanner once and changed the tapes as needed when it got to the end of
each one.
If you ran scanner on each tape individually, that would explain what
you have seen because any ssid that is not complete on that tape will
not be processed. If you ran scanner once starting on the first tape
and when it got to the end changed the tape in the drive to the next one
in the series and had scanner continue, it absolutely should have built
the media/index entries you say are missing.
By the way... I believe most of us share your dissatisfaction with
EMC's support of NetWorker (at least right now). I think a lot of us
would be completely lost without this mailinglist to bounce ideas and
questions off.

So I'm having a weird issue where the NetWorker User GUI won't shwo me
savesets that span multiple tapes, apparently. As some may know, I've had
to do a "scanner -i" on old tapes. And now I am trying to recover files
from the savesets I've just scanned. If the saveset is on a single tape, I
see it, and can browse to the specific file that I want.
So since I can't do a directed recover, I am falling back on a saveset
recover, and specifying the one folder I want. But I'm getting this odd
message, when I specify the specific file that I want:
43697:recover: Recover path `"H:\departments\Bartram Warehouse"' doesn't
match common path prefix of `H:\'
The saveset itself is all of drive H:, and I only want that one
sub-folder. So WTF do I have to do to get what I want.? Is that a warning?
An error? Who can tell? It certainly doesn't appear to be doing anything.
Am I supposed to be using a single quote? Specifying it some other way?
Just wait for it to do something?
Don't mind me, I'm really dissatisifed with NetWorker and it's support, at
the moment.
Anyway, any help appreciated.
