However if there is no retained backup of a directory then you cannot click on it to see the backups within it. Directory backup retention does not depend on the number of backup versions kept, but they get the management class within the policy domain that has the highest 'Retain only version' setting. So consider the following scenario. Apr 01 - run the your first backup, the directories will all get MC1 management class and all the audit files get the MC2 management class.
Apr, further backups of audit files, up to 6 backup versions retained, depending on how often the files change. Apr13, decide to recover the AUDIT directory back to Apr 04, run a PIT restore through the GUI, but you can't see anything as the directory backup from Apr01 has expired but you know that backups of files exist as they have a 20 day retention! The short term solution is to use the command line as this does not rely on the ability to display directories before it can display its files and subdirectories.
If you want to use the GUI then the long term strategy is to make sure you keep enough backup versions of your directories by assigning them to a suitable management class. The first thing to note is that the clients must both be the same platform. By far the easiest way is to invoke your command line or gui with the virtualnode option. This does not disturb any of the existing client configuration and will not affect backups.
The sourceclient is the name of the client that you want to restore files from, and Spectrum Protect will always prompt you for its password. You will then be able to query all the backups on the source client, but when you run a restore, you must give Spectrum Protect a target location on your current server, or it will restore to the original client.
Another option is to use the 'fromnode' parameter, which allows you to query backups that exist on ClientB while you are logged onto ClientA, and then restore those files from ClientB to ClientA. You can set the access globally so that all the backups can be seen and restored, or you can limit it to a subset of directories.
The syntax can vary for the 'set access' command depending on directory structures. If you want to access a directory on ClientB from ClientA and that directory does not have a sub-directory under it then use the following commands on ClientB. If you want to access a directory on ClientB from ClientA and that directory has sub-directories, but you only want to give access to the root directory use. If you want to access a directory on ClientB from ClientA and you want to grant access to all sub-directories but not the root directory use.
If you want to access a directory on ClientB from ClientA and you want to grant access to the root directory and all sub-directories use. This message sometimes crops up with Oracle restores, basically it means that Spectrum Protect was unable to access the data, not necessarily that the backup data does not exist. I suggest that first you check to see if you had problems with tape drives.
The specific error messages can be many pages above or below the ANSE messages, so the best way to check is to search the activity log for error messages "ANRE unable to open drive".
If you have a faulty tape drive, you will see a number of errors for that drive. Vary the drive offline and retry your restore. New posts. Log in.

Joined Nov 6, Messages 6 Reaction score 0 Points 0. Could you please explains me how to do that. All Rights Reserved. ORG Senior Member. Sounds good to me. You won't need the "set access" when using "virtualnode".

Restore both active AND inactive files. Thread starter opeth Start date Jul 26, ORG Member. Joined Feb 3, Messages 81 Reaction score 1 Points 0. All, I have a situation where I need to restore all active and inactive files for a number of folders that are in permenant retention.
Anyone ever had to do this? Any ideas? ORG Moderator. You can't do it. If you specify -inactive, it will restore the active file if it exist, for deleted files, it will restore the most recent inactive.
Here, I have 3 version of this file: Code:.
