Where fromhost is the media server that performed the original backup and tohost is the desired media host to use for the restore. If the master server is a UNIX NetBackup server, perform the following steps:Īs root user, add the following entry to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file:įORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = fromhost tohost Modify the NetBackup configuration on the master server: If necessary, physically move the media and update the Media Manager volume database, using the Media Manager administrative utilitiesĢ. To override the NetBackup media server for a restore:ġ. The process requires modification of the bp.conf file on UNIX media servers and registry edits on Windows NT media servers. This means restores for any storage unit on the "fromhost" will go to the "tohost." Note: The media server override applies to all storage units on the overridden media server. This method requires administrator intervention. This process will cause all restores of backups performed by Media Server A to be performed by Media Server B instead. This TechNote describes a process that causes restores of backups made by one media server to be performed on a different media server. So, a dedicated restore Media Server is defined that does not perform any critical backups.Ī media server has been removed from the NetBackup configuration, and is no longer accessible. The backup window is very limited and any time spent performing restores would prevent critical backups from taking place.
A restore is requested while one of the servers is either temporarily unavailable or is busy doing backups. Two (or more) servers are sharing a robot, with each host either directly connected to some of the drives, or connected to the drives in a shared storage option (SSO) environment. Some examples of when to use this method: There are times when this behavior is not desirable. Under normal operation, restores will always be directed to the media server that performed the backup.
