Preparing the master server for an alternate restore
The examples in the following procedure assume that database SAMPLE was backed up by client2, and you want to restore SAMPLE to client1.
For more information on how to manage client restores, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
To prepare the NetBackup master server for alternate restores
- Log onto the NetBackup master server that hosts the policy that backed up database SAMPLE.
- Where dest_client_name is the name of a client that is allowed to be a destination client for alternate restores. For example, client1.
Create a dest_client_name file on the NetBackup master server.
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\dest_client_name
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/dest_client_name
- After creating a dest_client_name file, add the name of the NetBackup for DB2 source client to the dest_client_name file. For example, add the following line to this file:
client2
For more information on managing a client restore, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
