To answer your question, no answer, it was just trying to restore an
index from a different date - it was ignoring the date option, it
appears.
Just as we were about to call Legato, believe it, or not, we just
figured it out.
We used 08/06/05 instead of 08/06/2005, and it worked! I thought that
we had used the 4 digit year before, but maybe not.
Strange, but then I've seen worse...
Thanks for the response.

What's the exact error you're getting? We've had signficant problems
with
-L7 NOT being able to load indexes since going from 7.2.2 to 7.4.2. We
have a case open with EMC about this issue right now. The person I'm
working with from EMC (who's been great, BTW) has found at least a few
other escalations of this exact same issue.
Are you seeing an error for nsrindexasm when it tries to merge the old
client index, or errors from nsrmmdbd in your (rendered) daemon log
about
"Save set eligibility can not be cleared"?

If you still have the savesets, you can probably figure it out, though.
