How to restore client file index db so you can do a directed recover

[NearlyWorked]

Task: to recover one directory from a volume that is past its browse policy.<br><br>My current solution: run MMRECOV on volume and then do a save set recovery till the required directory is restored then abandon the recover.&nbsp;&nbsp;(I'm recovering to effectively a blank box).<br><br>A better way ?:<br>Scanner -i should rebuild both indexes but I'm not confident in it.&nbsp;&nbsp;It either comes up &quot;not enough disk space&quot; so abandons or if you use -S to specify saveset it seems to hang.

NearlyWorked,

Is there a space problem where your indexes are being written to? I've used scanner -i many times in Solaris-Networker 5.5.1 without a problem. Scanner does rebuild the client and media indexes at the expense of 220b per file being restored to the client index. That adds up quickly if your restoring a 75GB tape.
