nsrck -L7 will not recover indices  if the savesets don't exist in the media db 
anymore.
nsrck -L7 can recover client file index records only when the savesets exist in 
the media db and have not expired (and marked as  (E)ligible for recycling).

However the media db could be mm-recovered if it had been saved with "saverp 
-O" as Stan suggested.
