Index save set for particular data save set?
Hello everyone. I'm not all that familiar with NetWorker, but I've been tasked with pulling some information out of the catalog for purposes of decommissioning a server. I'm hoping someone can help me out with a particular question.
I have to get a list of data save sets (I'm okay there), but for each data save set, I also have to note the index save set that corresponds to that particular data save set. (I hope that makes sense -- I'm admittedly not enitrely clear. Go easy on me.)
Assuming I'm clear on the concept here, how do I do that? My initial guess was to:
1. List all the level 9 save sets on the NetWorker server (mminfo -a -q "client= ,level=9")
2. Pare the list down to those savesets that start with "index:"
3. For each data save set, find the index save set (from the above step) with (a) the same client as the data save set, and (b) the earliest nsavetime greater than the nsavetime of the data save set.
Am I going about this the right way? Any help would be really, really, really appreciated. Thank you!

For step 1 you should also report the savetime and - most important - the volume.
Let me suggest the UNIX savetime - it makes things easier.
So your mminfo command should read something like this:
mminfo -q "name=index: ,level=9,savetime>01/01/2015,savetime<02/01/2015 " -r "name,level,ssid,savetime,nsavetime,volume" -ot
For the rest I am wondering why you are interested in the index saveset at all if you do not want to get the list of backed up files? - If so, use
nsrinfo -t
Besides that the index save set does not really make sense.
Remember that the file index is a 'nice to have' feature but it is not really necessary:
- Worst case, you can recover the whole save set to a temp directory and get the files (subset) from here
- If needed, the CFI information for a specific save set can be easily rebuilt by scanning the save set (scanner -i ...).
That should be sufficient for a decommisioned NW client.
