Examples of redirected restores
This topic provides some
example configurations that allow clients to restore the files that
were backed up by other clients. These methods may be required when
a client connects through a gateway or has multiple Ethernet
connections.
In all cases, the
requesting client must have access to an image database directory
on the master server (Install_path\NetBackup\db\images\client_name). Or, the requesting client
must be a member of an existing NetBackup policy.

Note:
|
Not
all file system types on all machines support the same features.
Problems can be encountered when a file is restored from one file
system type to another. For example, the S51K file system on an SCO
machine does not support symbolic links nor does it support names
greater than 14 characters long. You may want to restore a file to
a machine that doesn't support all the features of the machine from
which the restore was performed. In this case, all files may not be
recovered.
|
In the following examples, assume the following
conditions:
-
client1 is the client
that requests the restore.
-
client2 is the client
that created the backups that the requesting client wants to
restore.
-
Install_path is the path
where you installed the NetBackup software. By default, this path
is C:\Program Files\VERITAS.

Note:
|
The
information in this topic applies to restores made by using the
command line, not the Backup, Archive, and Restore client
interface.
