a copy of the bootstrap information after each scheduled backup. The
NetWorker server also writes the bootstrap information to the end of the
savegrp.log file that is written for the backup.
The following excerpt from a savegrp.log file shows a bootstrap save set ID
of 1467388673 located on volume lacey.001. Also note the file and record
numbers; having this information speeds the recovery process.

2. If the bootstrap information is not available from the sources described
above, you can locate it by using the NetWorker scanner command, as
follows, although this can be time-consuming:
a. Insert the backup or clone volumes from the most recent scheduled
backups into the appropriate device. (Do not use the NetWorker
software to mount the media; the NetWorker server does not
currently have the necessary information to recognize the media.)
b. Start a Windows command prompt and change to the
<NetWorker_install_path>\bin directory.
c. If you are using an autochanger, load the first volume of the
bootstrap save set into the first drive of the autochanger by running:
nsrjb -lnv -S # -f device_name
where:
– # is the slot where the first volume is located
– device_name is the pathname for the first drive
You can obtain the device_name by running the NetWorker inquire
command.
d. To determine the save set ID of the most recent bootstrap use the
following command:
scanner -B device_name
where device_name is the pathname for the drive where the
appropriate volume is located (for example, \\.\Tape0)
Note: If you do not locate the save set ID of the bootstrap from the most recent
scheduled backup, run the scanner -B command on the volumes from the next
most recent scheduled backup to locate the save set ID of the next most recent
bootstrap.
