Restore file at another media server
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 4 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Platform: UNIX
I use media server A backup files of server B. Then change media owner of that tape. And try to restore the file by Media server B itself.
However, the backup still chose media server A to restore. Did i miss anything?

Changing ownership with
Changing ownership with 'bpmedia -m <id> -oldserver ... -newserver ...' should do the trick.
Double-check output of 'bpmedialist -m <id>. Does it show server B as new owner?
Is this maybe a multi-tape backup? You might have to change all tapes in backup set.

simple
do an entry in the alternate server restore tab in the host properties of master server, you can restore in server B even though it is pointing to Server A, this is called redirected restorre

FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER
Applies to NetBackup Enterprise Server:
The
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER entry forces restores to go to a specific server, regardless of where the files were backed up. The format for the entry follows:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER
= from_host to_host
Where
UNIX master server.Stop and restart the NetBackup Request daemon on the master server afteradding the
to
storage unit on
for future restores, delete the entry.
from_host is the server that performed the original backup and to_host isthe server to use for the restore.Use this option by adding it to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on aFORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVERentry. Physically move the media to_host before attempting a restore. Update the Media Manager volume database to reflect the move.This setting applies to all storage units on the original server. Restores for anyfrom_host go to to_host . To revert to the original configuration
Thank you all
