Question : Problem: how do i make restore quicker using recover in networker ?

I need some help on executing recover option .in emc networker running on hp ux . we are executing restore  presently using recover command ie  : /usr/bin/openv/networker/bin/recover  . My nwrecover doesnt work well presently due to Java . Is there any way to search for a File or folder as per customer request  ( hp ux and solaris ) As users doesnt Give the Full path where the File was located for a restore request  , I am aware of Find native command which often takes a long time and unsucessful at times . Presently  i am manually Going in each mount point and checking the files requested which is very time consuming ...

for eg : if file to restore is 123456 . How to search this quickly ??? Is there a way Find command Can be better used to search the above pattern   ie  : Consider that i have many mount points under my unix box .like /2a,/2b,/3c etc..

i am using  find directory -name targetfile .Could some one throw some Light  on how this pattern can be searched or is there some other way to find the Path from the backup images . how ?

Try ff command. It can give you list of filenames and inodes on a filesystem. Then you can grep through that. Don't use mount points but filesystem devices.
