Restoring files backed up by another client

If you have the necessary permissions from your NetBackup administrator, you can browse the NetBackup database for files backed up by another NetWare Client. You can then restore selected files to your NetWare Client.

To restore files backed up by another client using targets

  • Before performing the restore procedure, do the following

a.Ensure that you have permission to browse and restore files that belong to another NetWare Client. (For more information about browse permissions, refer to NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.)

b.On the Main Menu, type n.

c.On the NetBackup Configuration menu, type b.

d.On the NetBackup Client Configuration menu, type a.

e.Type the name of the NetWare Client you want to add, and then press <Enter>.

f.Type q until you return to the Main Menu.

g.On the Main Menu, type r.

h.On the Restore menu, type b until the Browse Client field on the top of the page changes to the name of the NetWare Client you want to browse.

Note: Unless you specify a different target and path you can only restore files to the same resource from which you backed them up. For example, if you back up files from the SYS volume, then you can only restore them to a SYS volume. If the client to which you are restoring the files does not have a SYS volume, the restore fails.
