Recovering Volume Sets

The NSRRECOV program for recovering MPE volume sets includes the
special directory information file that allows you to rebuild the accounts and
groups of the volume set.
For information on recovering an entire MPE volume set in case of a disaster,
see “Restoring an Entire MPE Volume Set: Disaster Recovery” (on page 50).
Browsing MPE Volume Sets for Recovery
You have the ability to browse files, directories, MPE/iX accounts, and groups
derived from either client-initiated backups or server-initiated backups of
volume sets. If you are unable to browse, then the system administrator could
have turned the browse feature off.
Important:
Purged MPE/iX accounts and groups will be restored with only the default
attributes, which include permissions.
Naming Conventions for Recovering MPE Volume Sets
An MPE system volume, MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET, is automatically
created when any HP system is installed. NetWorker identifies MPE/iX
nonsystem volume sets by the appended tag _VOLUME_SET. For this reason,
when you back up or recover nonsystem volume sets with NetWorker, you
must add the tag _VOLUME_SET to the MPE volume set name. For example,
if you were backing up all your project files that reside exclusively on an MPE
volume set, PROJECTS, you would name the volume set
PROJECTS_VOLUME_SET.
Important: NetWorker identifies the MPE volume set,
PROJECTS_VOLUME_SET, as PROJECTS_VOLUME_SET_VOLUME_SET;
NetWorker does not consider the first _VOLUME_SET string.
The name of the directory information file for an MPE volume set is the same
as the name of the MPE volume set. Therefore, if you enter the name of or mark
an MPE volume set during the recovery process, you recover the directory
information file only.
You can recover an entire MPE volume set by using the save-set-based
recovery method which uses the save set recovery identification (ssid) for the
MPE volume set. When NetWorker saves an MPE volume set it saves the file
