ExtractSavesets command

The ExtractSavesets command extracts one or more savesets from the following types of files:

  • Dell EMC Centera data blob files

  • Enterprise Vault Storage Queue (.EVSQ) files

These types of files are called appended savesets files because they contain multiple savesets that are appended together.

Syntax

ExtractSavesets AppendedSavesetsFile [-o OutputFolder] [-n FileNameTemplate] [-f Offset -s Size]

Where the parameters are as follows:

AppendedSavesetsFile

Specifies the full path to the file that contains the savesets.

OutputFolder

Specifies the path to the folder in which to store the retrieved files and log file. By default, this is the Reports\EVSVR subfolder of the Enterprise Vault program folder (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault).

FileNameTemplate

Specifies the file naming convention to use for the extracted savesets. If you do not specify a file name template, EVSVR applies the name of the input file to the savesets, but without the path or extension.

If you do not specify an offset and size, EVSVR extracts all the savesets and sequentially names them FileNameTemplate_nnn.DVS. If you do specify the size and offset, EVSVR extracts the size bytes starting from offset into one saveset file that is named FileNameTemplate.DVS.

Offset

Specifies the offset in bytes from the start of the input file from which to start extracting the required saveset. If you specify an offset parameter, you must also specify a size parameter.

Size

Specifies the size in bytes of the data to extract from the input file. If you specify a size parameter, you must also specify an offset parameter.

Example

In the following example, the two parameters specify the path to a Dell EMC Centera data blob file and the folder in which to extract its contents:

es "C:\Centera Blobs\2RGPDMAIG8D51eAMOCBFS25BBK2G415357TU510G996D0BM2P833O.Blob126" -o c:\MyOutputFolder

If the output folder does not exist, ExtractSavesets creates it. All ExtractSavesets files are output to a time-stamped folder under this output folder, such as EVSVR_ExtractSavesets_20100715131545. So, in this example, the full output path is as follows:

C:\MyOutputFolder\EVSVR_ExtractSavesets_20100715131545\

The sample command does not include a -f parameter to specify the offset or a -s parameter to specify the size, so it extracts all the savesets in the blob file.

Expected outputs

Except where noted, ExtractSavesets outputs all the files and folders that are described below.

Table: Files and folders that are directly under the full output path

Output

Description

Log

This is the log file. In the example above, its file name is EVSVR_ExtractSavesets_20100715131545.Log.

Always review the log file to determine how successful the operation was. The file shows any errors that occurred.

Extracted Savesets folder

This folder contains the files that ExtractSavesets has extracted from the input file. See Table: Contents of the Extracted Savesets folder.

Table: Contents of the Extracted Savesets folder

Output

Description

DVS

Given the specified input parameters, if the appended saveset file contains DVS data, the command extracts all the DVS files from it. The name of each DVS file has the form AppendedSavesetName_IndexNumber.DVS. For example:

2RGPDMAIG8D51eAMOCBFS25BBK2G415357TU510G996D0BM2P833O_001.DVS

DocFile

This file is an uncompressed structured storage version of the above extracted DVS file. You can inspect its contents with a structured storage viewer. Sample file name:

2RGPDMAIG8D51eAMOCBFS25BBK2G415357TU510G996D0BM2P833O_001.DocFile
