Hello, I have seen two "problems" and I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or not. Please tell me if it is as expected or not. 1. We have a client A and NSR server B. We start NWRECOVER on B and select the client A with Change --> Client... Then I select some files and start the recover. The files are restored on server B and NOT on the client A. I have to start NWRECOVER on client A to to restore the files on client A. Is this normal and documented ? 2. We have setup a POOL called week. There is also a POOL default. We have setup a client and group to use the tapes labeled for the POOL week. If we start this group from the server (START GROUP) it backups the client to the tapes from the POOL week. So that ok. If we now start a backup from the client, then the backup is running and the data is saved on the tape from de default POOL. So not the the tape for the week POOL. Is this normal and somewhere documented ? Regards, Gerrit Verdick [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

Both behaviors are normal and documented, although probably not well enough for one to immediately catch onto things. The first behavior is because currently one can only pull files toward the machine one starts the recover on, not push them to another machine. This question comes up from time to time, you'd probably see more dicussion of it in the old notes conference. Pool behavior depends on how the pool is defined. Note there are differences between a group and a client (client can be in multiple groups) and there are differences between saves started from the server and client initiated saves. There are also many discussions of pools and how pools operate in the networker/decnsr notes conferences. | |||||

I have an additional recommendation for the second question asked in
the basenote.
I you do it this way you will not have that behaviour when doing
manual saves ( that's what you mean ... correct me if I'm wrong! )
In the POOL definition remove the group selection and add
all clients pertaining to that group ( or even pool if you want )
in the client selection in the POOLs admin window.
Specifying a group name in the POOLs window is a way to explicitly
separate NetWorker server initiated backup from manual ones.

| 383.3 | suggestion: use -b or -g in manual (ad hoc) save | DECWET::EVANS | Be a Point Of Light! | Thu Feb 06 1997 14:30 | 9 |

I think you could do that, but you could also set the group ID or pool ID
save -b<pool> or save -g<group> and it would work too.
