Did you do both phase 1 and phase 2 of the import?
Do you have the client name correct - check the import log (results tab of the catalog section) to make sure that you have the client names exactly as it was imported - as well as the data range and policy type
The Phase 1 part of the import will tell you all of that

Seems you can successfully browse the imported backups, right?
What happens if you try to restore data to different client name?
You don't need to create a policy.
Only requirement is for valid images in NBU catalog associated with original client name.
Restore data to same Client type - Standard to Unix/Linux, MS-Windows to Windows.
Ensure all of the following log folders exist:
On master: bprd (restart NBU to enable)
On media server: bptm and bpbrm
On destination client: bpcd and tar
Supporting Storage Foundation and VCS on Unix and Windows as well as NetBackup on Unix and Windows

@ mark
Yes i have completed phase 1 and phase 2 successfully.i have created one temp client whose name is same as backup client ( not IP )
@ Marianne
Yes as you can see in images i am able to see it in Media -> that tape contains data.
but still facing the problem to restore it .. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG HERE....
My master n media servers are on same machine.. and clients are all same..Solaris 10
Please specify the full path folders you are reffering ( as i m not fully aware )
Please specify full path for those folders....
Can you just try restoring the data (or some of it) locally to the media server for now to prove the data is OK
You could always copy it somewhere later then
