Thanks for the reply. 

> what version/build of Nw are you using on the server (and the client)? 
The version is 7.3.2, so fairly old!

>that saveset from April 4th was already browsable before the scanner command 
ran? 
I think so. Why do you ask?!

>what is the output of the following command? 

# nsrinfo -t "01/27/11 23:00:02" glass | more
scanning client `glass' for savetime 1296169202(Thu Jan 27 23:00:02 2011) from t
he backup namespace
/nfs/glass/sws/lost+found/
...
Then a file by file list of the saveset

>and just in case, try doing a recover of the index using nsrck -L7? then use 
>nsrinfo and mminfo to check the saveset.
