       nnwwrreeccoovveerr is an X Window System application.  It  is  used
       to recover lost files that have been saved with NetWorker.
       If you are running in a  non-X11  environment,  rreeccoovveerr(8)
       may be used to recover files.

       The  server's  name  may  be  specified with the --ss _s_e_r_v_e_r
       argument.  When no server is specified, nnwwrreeccoovveerr uses the
       server  selection  rules  found  in nnssrr(8).  When multiple
       NetWorker servers are accessible,  they  may  be  selected
       from  within the nnwwrreeccoovveerr command.  If _p_a_t_h is specified,
       nnwwrreeccoovveerr will attempt to initialize the current selection
       to  the  given  path.   The default attempted selection if
       _p_a_t_h is not specified is the current working directory.

       If you are recovering files that were  saved  with  Access
       Control  Lists  (ACLs),  you  need  to be root or the file
       owner to recover the file.   Files  with  an  ACL  have  a
       trailing  '+' (e.g., -rw-r--r--+) after the mode bits when
       viewing file details.  See rreeccoovveerr(8) for more information
       about ACLs.

       There  are  three  basic steps to recover a lost file: (1)
       Browse NetWorker's index in the Recover window to find the
       lost file, (2) Mark the file for recovery by selecting its
       checkbox and (3) Start the recovery.  In  addition,  there
       are recover commands for relocating recovered files (Relo-
       cate), finding past versions of a file (Versions),  chang-
       ing  the  browse  time  (Change  Browse Time), showing the
       files you have marked  for  recovery  (Show  Marked),  and
       overwriting  or  renaming recovered files that are in con-
       flict with existing files (Conflict Resolution).

       Opening the Recover window  connects  the  client  to  its
       indexes maintained on the server. The entries in the index
       represent previously backed-up  files  and  are  organized
       exactly  like  the  filesystem.  To  browse  the index for
       another filesystem, enter the pathname  in  the  Selection
       field.

       To  browse  the index: Use the Recover window View menu to
       select the browsing level of  your  directories.  Use  the
       mouse to open a directory and display its contents.

       To mark files: After you have located your files by brows-
       ing the index, mark the  files  you  want  to  recover  by
       selecting  their checkboxes.  Or, highlight a file and use

       the Mark command from the File menu to mark files. You can
       list  the files that you have marked for recovery with the
       Show Marked command from the View menu.

       To start the recovery: Select the  Start  recover  command
       from  the  File  menu.  The Conflict Resolution dialog box
       appears, where you tell NetWorker what to do when  a  con-
       flict  occurs  between  a  recovered  file and an existing
       file. You select whether to be prompted for each  individ-
       ual  conflict  or  to select one global resolution for all
       conflicts.  Then you tell NetWorker whether to Rename  the
       recover  file  with a .R extension to preserve both files,
       to Discard the recover  file  and  preserve  the  existing
       file,  or  to  Overwrite the existing file to preserve the
       recover file as the only copy of the file.

       After you press OK in the Conflict Resolution dialog  box,
       the  recover continues.  NetWorker will then automatically
       determine the  media  needed  to  complete  the  recovery,
       prompt  the  operator  to mount the media, and execute the
       recovery. You can monitor the status of  the  recovery  in
       the Recover Status window.

       Before starting the recovery, you have the option of relo-
       cating the recover files with the Relocate command.  Enter
       the  pathname  of  a new or existing directory in which to
       place your recovered files.

       The Recover window also offers two commands  for  browsing
       the  index  in  the  past.  Versions  shows you the entire
       backup history for a file. Change Browse Time  allows  you
       to  change  the  time at which you are viewing the on-line
       index.

       A complete explanation of the  nwrecover  command  may  be
       found in the NetWorker User's Guide.
