The database move redirects the restore of a database to a different location. The new location can be a different instance on the same host, a different host, or a different file path. The move operation also lets you restore the database under a different name than the original one.
To redirect a database to another location on a different host
The server that backed up the database you want to restore must appear in the server list of the destination host. If the server is not in the list, add it.
From the Instance list, select the database instance.
To select the default instance, either select <default> or leave the field empty.
In the NetBackup client properties dialog box, from the Current NetBackup Server list, select the NetBackup master server that contains the SQL Server backup images that you want to restore on the destination host.
In the Backup History Options dialog box, in the SQL Host list, select the host that has the database you want to restore.
Indicate the Source Client, if applicable.
This option specifies the NetBackup client name for the selected client. This is the name used in the policy to identify the client.
If you use a specific network interface for backup, enter the network interface name in the Source Client box. The network interface name is defined in the Host Properties for the server (open the properties for the server and click Universal Settings).
In the Save As dialog box, enter a file name and click Save.
Edit the template to designate the name that you want to use for the destination database as well as the file paths that you want to use for each of the database files.
After you edit the template, launch it by selecting File > Manage script files.
