Overriding the original server for
restores
NetBackup allows the
administrator to force restores to a specific server, regardless of
where the files were backed up. For example, if files were backed
up on server A, a restore request can be forced to use server
B.
Examples of when to use this method are as
follows:
-
Two (or more) servers share a robot, each with
connected drives. A restore is requested while one of the servers
is either temporarily unavailable or is busy doing backups.
-
A server was removed from the NetBackup
configuration, and is no longer available.
Use the following
procedure to override the original server for restores.
