Hello,


as you say you already scanned the volume, try the following : 

nsrinfo –N <filename> <client>  

 look for entries of 1 specific filename or directory (full pathname),
                                     on Windows use quotes
                                     For a directory : put a terminating “/” 
(Unix) or “\” (Windows)

hello

im having a little trouble which the experienced users out there will be able 
to solve in a handshake i think...

users reported that the content of a specific directory has disappeared and 
they want it back. the browse time policy for that directory is only 6 weeks or 
so, so no luck there.
the saveset has had a full backup on 1/1/2011. the saveset has expired 
actually, but is luckily still on tape X in the machine. no issues thus far.

what i need to see is: how many bytes were written to directory X within that 
saveset? or even better, how can i verify the files in that directory on that 
specific saveset?

i did a scanner on that specific tape, i know that the save set i want is 
completely on 1 tape, but even after that i dont know how to verify what is in 
that directory.

i usually manage with networker, but never had e decent education, so i 
sometimes struggel with basics like this - any help is kindly appreciated

(i tried to recover the saveset just like that, with indicating in the 
interface only directory X is needed, but even then it wrote 0 bytes)

i need to know specifics here because i feel a fight with the user coming up :D 
they say their stuff was there in April and i strongly suspect thats not the 
case.

thanks in advance guys

steven
