nwrecover question

[nyck]

I need to perfrom a restore from last weekends full backups:-

Start time: Sat Nov 10 23:55:00 2007
End time: Sun Nov 11 17:48:32 2007

So when I select browse time from within nwrecover what time & date do I need to select to do this?

If you have 2 full backups to recover, you better use the save set recovery feature, not the file recovery. With nwrecover's file recovery, you can just select one browse time at a time.

Although you can start this from the GUI, it is probably better to recover the save sets from the command line.

This restore is actually from just the one backup. I have run the nwrecover with a browse time of 11/11/2007 @19:59 and have selected the files I'm after and the tapes its selecting are only from the full backups from the weekend.

I had a look at the save set recovery from the gui and it looks like you can only restore whole file systems.

I take it with the command lime method you can drill it down the the actual directorys you want?

It seems i misunderstood your question just because i saw the word backup"s".

Actually, you should select the time you get reported for the save set when you query the media index with "mminfo". Report
at least the parameter "savetime(25)".
