When you perform a granular backup, sometimes the source client is different than the client that NetBackup uses for granular processing. Additional requirements exist for these situations.
These situations include the following:
You can specify a proxy host in the NetBackup Administration Console or with the bplist command. Note that NetBackup uses the proxy host when you duplicate a backup image.
When you select a destination client other than the source client to either browse the backup image or when you perform a restore
If one of these situations applies to your NetBackup configuration, the following requirements exist:
The client(s) or the media server must have the same version of Windows as the client from which the backup is made.
For Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2, the client(s) must have Services for Network File System enabled (under File Services). For Windows 2003 R2 SP2, the client(s) must have NFS installed.
See About installing and configuring Network File System (NFS) for Exchange Server Granular Recovery.
The proxy server must also meet the following additional requirements:
The client(s) or the media server must have privileges to perform granular operations.
