You can do two types of recoveries:
• Interactive-browse recoveries
• Noninteractive recoveries
With interactive recoveries, you browse the save sets and mark specific files
that you want to recover. With noninteractive recoveries, you do not browse
the save sets or mark specific files; you enter the NSRRECOV command, the
command parameters, and the file path of the file that you want to recover.
You can perform both noninteractive and interactive recoveries during a
Command Interpreter (CI) session or from a POSIX prompt. You can also set
system variables for both interactive and noninteractive recoveries.
Setting System Variables
You can set system variables during a CI session to affect the recoveries that
you perform during that specific CI session. Once you have set a system
variable during a CI session, then the setting affects all recoveries done during
that session unless you turn the setting off. You can perform recoveries from a
different CI session and not set the system variables if you don’t want system
variables applied to specific backups.
The types of system variables that you can set for recoveries are as follows:
• Preserve the backup date for recovered files and directories.
• Set the Networker time zone to match the HP STORE process.
• Turn the parallelism attribute on and off.
Preserving the Original Backup Date
You can set the NSR_MPE_OLDDATE system variable to preserve the original
backup date of files and directories.
To preserve the original backup date on the recovered file, directory, or MPE
volume set directory information file, enter the following system variable
during the current CI session:
: SETVAR NSR_MPE_OLDDATE_ON ""
You can also set this system variable from the POSIX shell if you prefer:
$ export NSR_MPE_OLDDATE_ON=""
