NWRECOVER(8)               Legato NetWorker 4.1.1               NWRECOVER(8)


NAME
       nwrecover - NetWorker graphical recover interface

SYNOPSIS
       nwrecover [ -s server ] [ -c client ] [ -T browse time ]

DESCRIPTION
       nwrecover is an X Window System application.  It is used to recover
       lost files that have been saved with NetWorker.  If you are running
       in a non-X11 environment, recover(8) may be used to recover files.

       The server's name may be specified with the -s server argument.  When
       no server is specified, nwrecover uses the server selection rules
       found in nsr(8).  When multiple NetWorker servers are accessible,
       they may be selected from within the nwrecover command.

       If you are recovering files that were saved with Access Control Lists
       (ACLs), you need to be in group operator or the file owner to recover
       the file.  Files with an ACL have a trailing '+' (e.g., -rw-r--r--+)
       after the mode bits when viewing file details.  See recover(8) for
       more information about ACLs.

       There are three basic steps to recover a lost file: (1) Browse
       NetWorker's index in the Recover window to find the lost file, (2)
       Mark the file for recovery by selecting its checkbox and (3) Start
       the recovery.  In addition, there are recover commands for relocating
       recovered files (Relocate), finding past versions of a file
       (Versions), changing the browse time (Change Browse Time), showing
       the files you have marked for recovery (Show Marked), and overwriting
       or renaming recovered files that are in conflict with existing files
       (Conflict Resolution).

       Opening the Recover window connects the client to its indexes
       maintained on the server. The entries in the index represent
       previously backed-up files and are organized exactly like the
       filesystem. To browse the index for another filesystem, enter the
       pathname in the Selection field.

       To browse the index: Use the Recover window View menu to select the
       browsing level of your directories. Use the mouse to open a directory
       and display its contents.

       To mark files: After you have located your files by browsing the
       index, mark the files you want to recover by selecting their
       checkboxes.  Or, highlight a file and use the Mark command from the
       File menu to mark files. You can list the files that you have marked
       for recovery with the Show Marked command from the View menu.

       To start the recovery: Select the Start recover command from the File
       menu. The Conflict Resolution dialog box appears, where you tell
       NetWorker what to do when a conflict occurs between a recovered file
       and an existing file. You select whether to be prompted for each
       individual conflict or to select one global resolution for all
       conflicts.  Then you tell NetWorker whether to Rename the recover

       file with a .R extension to preserve both files, to Discard the
       recover file and preserve the existing file, or to Overwrite the
       existing file to preserve the recover file as the only copy of the
       file.

       After you press OK in the Conflict Resolution dialog box, the recover
       continues.  NetWorker will then automatically determine the media
       needed to complete the recovery, prompt the operator to mount the
       media, and execute the recovery. You can monitor the status of the
       recovery in the Recover Status window.

       Before starting the recovery, you have the option of relocating the
       recover files with the Relocate command. Enter the pathname of a new
       or existing directory in which to place your recovered files.

       The Recover window also offers two commands for browsing the index in
       the past. Versions shows you the entire backup history for a file.
       Change Browse Time allows you to change the time at which you are
       viewing the on-line index.

       A complete explanation of the nwrecover command may be found in the
       NetWorker User's Guide.
