  • How was this pull request tested? On a HP DL360 G9 / RHEL7.4

  • Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
    During the time working with the EMC Networker recovery I determined it is of additional use to not skip the retrieval of the filesystems in NSR_CLIENT_MODE I introduced with f09c3d3. It does not harm to do so since gathering this information is "read-only" for the client.
    Due to saving the save sets filesystem information in $VAR_DIR/recovery/nsr_paths within the recovery image one is able to retrieve/read this stored information during a recovery process i.e. for advising the EMC networker server team to recover the appropriate filesystem(-structure) from the backups beeing made.

@gdha
because you had approved https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/1584
you may also like to have a look here.

If you (or otheres) do not object I would "just merge" it tomorrow.

@hpannenb
thank you for your continuous contributions to ReaR
that make ReaR work better with EMC Networker.

It is much appreciated because we at ReaR upstream
usually do not have third-party backup tools so that
we at ReaR upstream depend on contributions to ReaR
from users who actually use third-party backup tools.
