Viewing the Backup History
If you have several backups of the same directory or file, you can view the different
versions by displaying the backup history. If you are not sure where a directory or file
resides, you can use the backup history to locate it.
If more than one version of a backed-up directory, file, or MPE volume set directory
accounting information file exists, NetWorker automatically recovers the directory, file,
or MPE volume set with the most recent backup date. The most recent backup date is
always the one immediately before the browse time. Browse time is always set to
midnight of the current date to ensure that you automatically recover the most recent
backup. For example, a current browse time of Fri Nov 21 10:51:37 1997 displays files
backed up at midnight of Thu Nov 20 1997.
To view the backup history of a file, at the NetWorker recover prompt, enter the
versions command and the name of the file, directory, or MPE volume set directory
accounting information file:
recover> versions rep1
NetWorker displays the different versions of the backup files that you can recover:
