NAME

nsrretrieve − retrieve NetWorker archive save sets

SYNOPSIS

nsrretrieve [-f] [-n] [-q] [-i {nNyYrR}] [-d destination] -s server -S ssid[/cloneid] [-S ssid[/cloneid]]... [ path]...

DESCRIPTION

nsrretrieve is used to restore archive save sets from the NetWorker server.  No browsing is available via nsrretrieve.  Use of nsrretrieve is restricted to administrators and users on the list of archive users for an archive client resource, see the nsr_archive_client(5) man page for further details.  When not running as root or as a user in the ’operator’ group, only files the user owns can be recovered. 

OPTIONS

−S ssid[/cloneid]
Ssid specifies the save set id’s for the save set(s) to be retrieved.  When there are multiple clone instances for an archive save set, the cloneid can be also be specified to select the particular clone instance to be retrieved from.  When no path arguments are specified, the entire save set contents will be retrieved.  To restrict the archive save set retrieve to only particular directories or files matching a given path prefix, exact matching path’s can be specified to limit which directories and files are retrieved.

−d destination
Specifies the destination directory to relocate retrieved files to. Using this option is equivalent to using the relocate command when in interactive mode (discussed below). 

−s server
Selects which NetWorker server to use. The default is the server of the first directory being retrieved, if it is a network file server and NetWorker server. Otherwise, the current machine if it is running a server, or the machine with the logical name “nsrhost” in the host table (see hosts(5)). 

−q The nsrretrieve command normally runs with verbose output. This flag turns off the verbose output. 

−f Indicates that retrieved files will overwrite existing files whenever a name conflict occurs. 

−n When retrieving, do not actually create any directories or files. 

−i {nNyYrR}
Specifies the initial default overwrite response to use when recovering files and the file already exists. Only one letter may be specified. This option is the same as the uasm −i option when running in recover mode.  See the uasm(8) man page for a detailed explanation of this option.
