I have a volume which contains savesets that have exceeded the browse policy but the volume is still listed in the media DB. The volume was created using a manual clone of various savesets, functioning as offsite disaster recovery media. The volume became full of data during cloning of a particular saveset and, at the time, a second volume was not used to complete the clone operation. Thus, the saveset status on this volume is listed as "abort", although nearly all of the saveset fit on this volume. Now, of course, I need to recover some of the files from this aborted saveset clone. Is it possible to use the scanner command to rebuild the client file index and recover some of the files that actually did get cloned onto this volume?
Thanks in advance for any help!
 
On Legato's support KnowledgeBase, I have found a reference to Technical Bulletin 135 which describes how to recover individual files from a saveset using the scanner command. This would probably work for me except that I have about a dozen (known) files to recover. I was hoping that I could somehow add the file listing to the CFI and then browse the index, but I guess not. Anyone ever discover a workaround that I might use?
