Run the following commands to change expired save set to recoverable. Option 1. If the save set is still present in Data Domain, we can scan it back into the media database. scanner -m -S VM_backup_SSID device_name Option 2. Change the save set to notrecyclable and then change expiration accordingly. Get the ssid and cloneid of the backup: mminfo -kot -q vmname= VM_NAME -r volume,name,savetime,ssid,cloneid,ssflags Using the ssid and cloneid , set the save set to notrecyclable nsrmm -o notrecyclable -S SSID/Cloneid root@linux1:~# nsrmm -o notrecyclable -S 594652987/1668394811 Mark save set copy 594652987/1668394811 as not recyclable? yes Set the retention to a date of your choosing: nsrmm -e "mm/dd/yy" -S SSID/cloneid root@linux1:~# nsrmm -e "12/16/2022" -S 594652987/1668394811 If this saveset has dependents with longer retention periods, the dependent savesets will not be browsable after the retention policy expiration date `Fri Dec 16 00:00:00 2022'. Are you sure you want to change the retention policy expiration of this saveset to `Fri Dec 16 00:00:00 2022'?

The way FLR recovery works is similar to BBB, and different from traditional file system backups. No indexes are needed in order to do FLR, just a saveset in a Data Domain device. Perform the VM restore from the NetWorker Management Console (NMC) or NetWorker Web User Interface (NWUI).
