Redirected restores
A redirected restores lets you restore backup files to a client different from the client that originally performed the backup. The new location can be a different host or a different file path using a different name for the redirected restore. To redirect a restore to a different host, include the destination client name in the install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames
directory.
Performing redirected restores
To redirect a restore to a different host
- Update the
nbmysql.conf
file with the NetBackup client name as the host and the MySQL target directory as the directory where you want to redirect the restore. - On the NetBackup master server, create an
altnames
directory for the host that you want to have permission to perform the redirected restore. For example, to give Host B permissions to restore from another host, create the following file:(Windows)
install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\HostB
(Linux RHEL and SLES)
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/HostB
- In the
altnames
directory, add the names of the client(s) whose files the requesting client wants to restore. For example, if you want Host B to have permissions to redirect restores from Host A, add Host A to the Host B file. - Run the following command:
nbmysql -o restore -S master_server_name -t target_directory -p db_port [-i copy_id] [-C client_name]
- After a successful redirected restore, undo the changes that you made on the master server and the client.
