Media host override list

Specific servers can be specified in this list as servers to perform restores, regardless of where the files were backed up. (Both servers must be in the same master and media server cluster.) For example, if files were backed up on media server A, a restore request can be forced to use media server B.

The following items describe situations in which the capability to specify servers is useful:

Two (or more) servers share a robot and each have connected drives. A restore is requested while one of the servers is either temporarily unavailable or is busy doing backups.
A media server was removed from the NetBackup configuration, and is no longer available.

To add a host to the Media host override list, click Add.

Click Add to All to add a host to the list for all of the hosts currently selected.

To change an entry in the list, select a host name, then click Change.

Configure the following options in the Add Media Override settings or Change Media Override settings dialog box:

Original backup server

Type the name of the server where data was backed up originally.
Restore server

Type the name of the server that is to process future restore requests.
