How do I determine what files were backed up?

To determine what files were backed up in any particular saveset, you use the nsrinfo command. For reasons known only to Legato developers, you don't specify the saveset you're interested in by ssid, as you would expect. Instead, you specify the client name and the exact time of the saveset (i.e. either the savetime or nsavetime data from an mminfo report).

For example, to find the contents of the most recent saveset for the /var filesystem on the client foo.bar.edu, you first need to determine what the savetime or nsavetime was for that saveset, probably using mminfo.

 $ mminfo -ot -q 'client=foo.bar.edu,name=/var,savetime>=yesterday' -r 'ssid,client,name,nsavetime'

That will return output similar to:

  ssid      client     name               save time
 110486406  foo.bar.edu /var             1201005399
 546782600  foo.bar.edu /var             1201093980

Since the savesets were ordered by time (the -ot flag to mminfo), the last one that appears is the most recent savetime. Now you use that with nsrinfo.

 $ nsrinfo -t 1201093980 foo.bar.edu

Which should result in the list of files that were backed up in that particular saveset:

 scanning client `foo.bar.edu' for savetime 1201093980(Wed Jan 23 07:13:00 2008) from the backup namespace
