Missing Index

[md1750]

Is there a way to recover client index which is stored on /index/nsr on backup server.Backup files are on tape but index is missing to recover from tape.

What version of Networker? If the client index is not for the Networker server itself, then you can recover it just like any other file, from recover/nwrecover/ Networker user.
If you are on version 6, you could try nsrck -L7 clientname.

Does your Networker server have a FULL backup every day including nsr\index folder? If not I would say schedule that for a full every day. It is better to schedule it at a time that Networker Server is idle after all clients backups have completed. This way you could restore that client's index from the tape without a problem. I have created a group called Fulleveryday5AM. This group kicks off every morning at 5AM and has only one client which is the Networker Server itself. If your backups complete by 6AM then schedule this group say 7AM. I also have created a directive called Index directive that says:

<<&quot;D:\nsr\index&quot;>>
ignore *.*

This will allow you to pickup everything from D:\nsr\index

If you have installed Networker in another drive change drive letter accordingly.

You have to select this directive under this client's properties, general field


Just a thought

I am using 5.5 and the backup schedule is set for the default.

Hello,
Both reply are good, alternatively you can create new index if it has gone correpted by nsrck -c where c is client name.
also run nsrck -F periodically to clean and compact indexes.
You can recover client index using regular directed recovery method also.
