Retrieving Archived Files

NetWorker retrieves archived files by copying files from an archive volume to a local

disk. Unless you are manager.sys, you must own the directories or files to retrieve

them.

You need to know the save set ID (identification) number and the name of the archive

pool. If you are not sure, ask your system administrator to check the information with

the NetWorker software on the server of which you are a client.

The NSRRETRV command to retrieve an archive includes the following parameters:

•-S, the parameter for the save set identification.

ssid, specifies the save set identification for the save set to be retrieved.

• -s, the parameter for the server.

The name of the server from which you are retrieving the files.

•(Optional) -b, the parameter for the volume pool.

(Optional) The name of the volume pool, which must be enclosed in quotes if the

name is more than one word. Archive is the name of the default volume pool.

• The original pathname of the directory to be retrieved.

From the CI, retrieve the archive as follows:

: RUN NSRRETRV;INFO=“-S

ssid

-s

server directory_pathname”

For example:

: RUN NSRRETRV;INFO=“-S

14321

-s

jupiter /projects/project1”

From the POSIX shell, enter the following command to retrieve the archive:

$ NSRRETRV -S

ssid

-s

server directory_pathname
