In regard to: [Networker] Sanity check on mminfo / nsrinfo usage, Len...:

Therefore, running nsrinfo with one of the 'nsavetime' values like this :

# nsrinfo -t 1264829064 jupiter

...spews output thus :

/dir1/lost+found/
/dir1/.profile
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/install
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/installer
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/locks/
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/logs/2007-01-05_03-19-55PM.log
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/logs/2007-01-05_03-59-39-PM.log
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/logs/2007-01-05_03-59-39-PM.out
/dir1/subdir2/subdir3/more_subdirs/logs/2007-01-05_03-59-39-PM.err

...for thousands of lines. This output should be a listing of every file
backed up for that given savetime, right? And, therefore, if I go through
all active savetimes and a given file never shows up, then it was never
backed up.  :-)

That's correct.  If your client were configured to not save index entries
then this wouldn't work.  Also, we've discovered that with some client
types (NetWare) what nsrinfo reports on Linux/UNIX doesn't actually match
what the clients notion of file names are.  I think this has to do with
the "namespace" feature of NetWare, but I honestly don't completely
understand it.
