The NetBackup administrator can permit a single client to restore the backups that belong to other clients. Create a peername file on the NetBackup master server where the policy that backed up the other client(s) resides.

Note: |
The information in this topic applies to restores made by using the command line, not the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface. |
Create an altnames directory in the following location, then place the empty file inside of the directory:
Install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\peername
Where peername is the client to possess restore privileges.
In this case, the requesting client (peername) can access the files that are backed up by another client. The NetBackup client name setting on peername must match the name of the other client.
