458.0. "Browsing problem with Unix client" by LUX06::GLOESENER () Tue Mar 04 1997 04:19

I have a browing problem with Networker V4.2A for Digital Unix. I have a server
and a client (Note that for security reasons nsrexecd does not run) on
the client. Both machines are clients to the server machine (i.e. the server is
its own client). Both clients are configured exactely the same way but for
the names and aliases.

Now when I backup the server everything is OK, and the saveset browsable.
The client (backuped by nwbackup or 'save -q -s servername -b poolname -W 80
-x -l full /') creates the index but it is never browsable by nwrecover.

An nsrim -v on the server gives:

client.domain:/, retension policy: Year, Browse policy: Month
	26019  3/04/97  f	13630 files   471 MB recycle <--- ????
0 browsable files of 13630 total, 0 KB recovarable of 471 MB total

Why does it become recycle immediatly ? Note that nsrim issued immediataly
after the backup states 'browse -> recover -> recycle' instead of 'recycle' and
the next nsrim states 'recycle'

Any hints are welcome,
Gast

    I am really sorry for this useless note (.0) since I have detected
    today that the date of the server system was exactely one year in
    advance thus it must recycle the saveset according to its policy.

    Sorry,

Actually, this isn't useful.  It illustrates the importance of 
synchronizing system times.
