Index Recovery to a Different Location Fails

Suppose you attempt to recover indexes to a directory other than the one where they were originally located, then receive the following error message:

WARNING: The on-line index for `client-name' was NOT fully recovered.
There may have been a media error. You can retry the recover, or
attempt to recover another version of the `client-name' index. 

Do not attempt to recover the indexes to a different directory. After the indexes have been recovered to their original location, you can move them to another directory.

Because the indexes are holey files, using the UNIX cp command creates a file that consumes more disk space than the original file. To move the indexes, invoke the following command as root from within the /nsr/index directory:

# uasm -s -i client-index-directory-name | (cd target-directory; uasm -r)
