Hello;

We could restore index of old save set using:

-You use mminfo to know ssid and tape that is the old save set
-mount tape in drive
- scan to add index
scanner -i -S ssid_we_want_restore devidce
example:scanner -i -S 4044642530 /dev/nst3
- if you wnt change browsable retention
nsrmm -S ssid_we_want_restore -w 'date_to_browsable'
example: nsrmm -S 4044642530 -w '10/17/07 23:59:00'

with it you only add to index the save set not all index of client.

we have shorter browse to keep the index at a somewhat manageable size

we have a 2 year browse policy and 10 year retention

the live index grows to almost a TB as is and any old restore requires
reading the (old) index off of an old tape with nsrck -L7

Out of curiosity, is there any particular reason why one would have a
browse policy that's difference than the retention policy?

I can perhaps see a browsing period that's longer, so you can have some
historical information on how / when backups occur. But what good is
retaining the save sets if they're not in the index? Running 'scanner'
seems like a waste of time.
