SYNOPSISnsrretrieve [ -fnqu ] [ -i {nNyYrR} ] [ -d destination ]
[ -s server ] { [ -S ssid[/cloneid] ]...
[ -A annotation ]... } [ path ... ]
DESCRIPTIONnsrretrieve is used to restore archive save sets from a NetWorker
server. No browsing is available via nsrretrieve. Use of nsrretrieve
is restricted to listed administrators and users of an archive client
resource. See the nsr_client(5) man page for further details. When
not running as root, only the files that the user owns can be
retrieved.
When no path arguments are specified, the entire save set contents will
be retrieved. To restrict the archive save set retrieval to only par‐
ticular directories or files matching a given path prefix, exact match‐
ing path's can be specified to limit which directories and files are
retrieved.
OPTIONS-A annotation
The annotation is a regular expression which uniquely identifies
a single archive save set. See nsrarchive(8). The regular
expression is as used by grep(1). At least one annotation or
ssid (see below) must be specified.
-S ssid[/cloneid]
The ssid specifies the save set IDs for the save sets to be
retrieved. When there are multiple clone instances for an ar‐
chive save set, you can specify the cloneid to select the par‐
ticular clone instance to be retrieved. At least one annotation
(see above) or ssid must be specified.
-d destination
Specifies the destination directory to relocate retrieved files.
-s server
Selects which NetWorker server to use.
-q The nsrretrieve command normally runs with verbose output. This
flag turns off the verbose output.
-f Indicates that retrieved files will overwrite existing files
whenever a name conflict occurs.
-n Does not actually create any directories or files while retriev‐
ing.
-i {nNyYrR}
Specifies the initial default overwrite response to use when
retrieving files and the file already exists. You may specify
only one letter. This option is the same as the uasm -i option
when running in recover mode. See the uasm(8) man page for a
detailed explanation of this option.
-u Stop when an error occurs during retrieval. Normally, nsrre‐
trieve treats errors as warnings and tries to continue to
retrieve the rest of the files requested. However, when this
option is used, nsrretrieve will stop recovering on the first
error it encounters.
