571.0. "nwrecover funny problem" by SQUALO::MCSSERVICE (MCSSERVICE @MLN) Fri Apr 11 1997 07:31

    HI,
    
    I have a problem with NSR 4.2B with all the patches installed and nwrecover	
    from the same server.
    I would explain all of that with the following examples:
    
    I have the /tmp/AAA/motd 
    
    Client name is dectest, server name is dectest, pool is maxim, group is
    maxim.
    
    # save -vi -g maxim -l full -N MAXIM /tmp/AAA
    
    nwrecover browse all correctly
    
    # rm -r /tmp/AAA
    # mkdir /tmp/BBB
    # cp /etc/motd /tmp/BBB
    # save -vi -g maxim -l full -N MAXIM1 /tmp/BBB
    
    nwrecover browse only BBB but AAA doesn't exist
    
    # rm -r  /tmp/BBB
    # mkdir /tmp/CCC
    # cp /etc/motd /tmp/CCC
    # save -vi -g maxim -l full -N MAXIM2 /tmp/CCC
    
    nwrecover browse only CCC but AAA and BBB aren't displayed
    
    If I run nwrecover with the correct browse time, that I have seen with
    
    # nsrinfo -vV -s dectest dectest
    
    or in nwadmin, the nwrecover browse the directory.
    
    If I use the automatic schedule backup with group control instead of
    the command line mode, the problem is inverted. Infact the nwrecover
    browse only the first dirctory AAA but BBB and CCC aren't displayed.
    
    Is there some patches for this funny problem?
    
    thanks

	I tired the manual saves with our current code base and it worked as expected. The AAA and BBB directories only showed up with the browse time set exactly to a time between the saves. I wouldn't use /tmp as a test since there is a standard directive to skip files in /tmp on a scheduled backup. This may be causing part of what you are seeing. I used a directory call /test just to make sure there would be no unexpected side effects.
571.2	WHY I MUST ....	NNTPD::"[email protected]"	CESARATO	`Mon Apr 21 1997 01:52`	19
	In the previous examples You can look at qualifier "-i" that mean ignores .NSR DIRECTIVES, so I think it isn't a problem to backup the the /tmp directory. However the examples was used for reproduce the same problems had on others directory. The question is WHY I MUST USE THE BROWSE TIME TO SEE THE FILES AND DIRECTORY DELETED BEFORE THE LAST BACKUP AND WHY IF I USE THE SCHEDULED BACKUP THE EFFECT OF BROWSE'S NWRECOVER IS DIFFERENT FROM THE EFFECT WITH THE COMMAND LINE MODE (SAVE)?? What happen if I don't know the browse time? Must I use always the mminfo command ??? [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
571.3	It's not a bug, but the expected behaviour.	BACHUS::DEVOS	Manu Devos NSIS Brussels 856-7539	`Mon Apr 21 1997 02:10`	22
	Hi, >> WHY I MUST USE THE BROWSE TIME TO SEE THE FILES AND DIRECTORY DELETED BEFORE THE LAST BACKUP. Let's imagine you remove a complete directory by mistake. You, then restore this complete directory. I suppose you should not be happy to see a lot of old files and directories that you intentionnaly deleted maybe months ago. So, the behaviour you see is really what we expect. >> If I use the automatic schedule backup with group control instead of >> the command line mode, the problem is inverted. Infact the nwrecover >> browse only the first dirctory AAA but BBB and CCC aren't displayed. +> WHY IF I USE THE SCHEDULED BACKUP THE EFFECT OF BROWSE'S NWRECOVER +> IS DIFFERENT FROM THE EFFECT WITH THE COMMAND LINE MODE (SAVE)?? ??? Maybe a full backup was scheduled the day you tested with group control. But, normally you should not see any difference. Manu.
