Consider the following items when importing Backup Exec media:

• If the Backup Exec media is password-protected, the import job fails without a correct password. The logs indicate that either no password or an incorrect password, was provided. If the media is not password-protected and the user provides a password, the password is ignored.

• If the Backup Exec media uses a password that contains non-ASCII characters, use the NetBackup Administration Console on Windows. (The NetBackup-Java Administration Console cannot be used.) Or, use the bpimport command.

• Importing from Backup Exec media does not convert or migrate Backup Exec job history, job schedules, or job descriptions to NetBackup.

• Importing from Backup Exec media does not convert Backup Exec application setup or configuration information to NetBackup.

• Any Backup Exec backups that were created with the Intelligent Image Option cannot be restored.

• If Backup Exec hard link backups are redirected and restored to partitions or drives other than the source partition or drive, the hard links are not restored. The progress log may indicate that the hard links are restored successfully, but that is not the case.
