Thanks 605, I know after I posted the message that it probably was confusing to read. Thanks for breaking it down. So to answer your question, yes the saveset is still browsable yet it has passed it's 30 day browse and retent policy. You mentioned nsrim potentially not running correctly...
I understand the that sumflags will provide that information, but if you have a saveset flagged with "b" or "r" and some that are flagged with "E" then it is logical that the tape is not going to expire until the "b" and "r" savesets have reached their time. But as this has become a persistent...
Hi 605,
Thanks for the reply, and thanks for the suggestion. Might I add that it also might be useful to add ssretent and ssbrowse to the command, and I put client to help decipher what was what. With this I think that I have found a client or two that still might have their retention time...
Hi All,
May I jump into this thread. I am having similar problems with my VTL. When I look at the tape, you are right there are savesets that still have not expired. But then I have tapes that are two, three months old and they still have not expired and like Loirik I have set retention...
Hi, I am running Networker 7.4.2 on Linux. I was wondering it is possible to use nsrinfo in the "Backup Command" under the "Apps and Modules" tab. According to the help it should be able to run any nsr command. What I would like to do is after the client as done their back mail a report to...
Hi everyone, thanks to all for your suggestions, 605 I have gone with you first suggestion, those this is not my optimal solution for the problem. Thanks and I think that this post is closed.
Hi, I have search and not come up with a solution. I need to be able to initiate a level full on a particular saveset of a client. This client has many savesets, and they all ran their level full for this month except for one. The question is: is it possible to initiate a backup for a...
Thanks julianbarnett, yeah I know about the right click on the group and you have "Start" or "Restart". But you know, I do not trust gui operations. And if you can do it from the gui, then you should be able to make this operation from the command line. Thanks for help.
Hi, I use the savegrp command lots of times to issue backups on clients that have failed in NMC. But lots of times it is just one saveset that has failed on the client. I was wondering if there is a command to backup up the client on a particular saveset? Thanks in advance.

Hey 605, you are the best. Thanks for the info., but I am wondering if that is a good thing to use on Physical tapes. Doesn't that fracture the data that is stored on the tape? Will Networker make good use of the space? It makes since to use this on my VTL, but now I have notice that several...
Hi,
In thread480-1465839 it was mentioned that it is possible to purge a saveset id from the Index database. but that does not free up space on tape ie. VTL. Is there a way to purge the dataspace from an aborted session? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all,
I am running Networker 7.4 sp2 on Linux attached to a VTL and PTL. Normally our mode of operation is to clone twice a month a copy of a "full" for each client to the PTL. But in September we had some problems with the equipment and certain clients' savesets did not make it to tape...
