About allowing redirected restores of a client's files on UNIX/Linux

The NetBackup administrator can permit a single client to restore the backups that belong to another client. Create a peername file on the NetBackup master server of the requesting client as described here.

Create an altnames directory in the following location, then place the peername file inside of the directory:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/peername

Where peername is the client to possess restore privileges. Add to the peername file the names of the client(s) whose files the requesting client wants to restore.

The requesting client can restore the files that were backed up by another client if:

  • The names of the other clients appear in the peername file, and

  • The NetBackup client name of the requesting client is changed to match the name of the client whose files the requesting client wants to restore.
