Configuring a redirected restore on the NetBackup for Sybase client
If you want to browse and restore a backup that another client performed, follow these steps:
To configure a redirected restore on the NetBackup for Sybase client on Windows
- Ensure that the NetBackup server is configured to allow the redirected restore.
For information, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
- On Windows, specify the client name on the LOAD command with the -CLIENT option. For example, the following command specifies saturn as the client to browse:
load database mydb from "sybackup::SYBASE.mydb.D.0.14693.12-12-1997.09:28:37 -CLIENT saturn"
To configure a redirected restore on the NetBackup for Sybase client on UNIX or Linux
- Ensure that the NetBackup server is configured to allow the redirected restore.
For information, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
On UNIX or Linux, specify either of the following (if you specify both, NetBackup considers them in the order listed):
Specify the client name on the Sybase LOAD command with the -CLIENT and -SERV option. For example, the following command specifies saturn as the client to browse:
load database mydb from "sybackup::SYBASE.mydb.D.0.14693.12-12-1997.09:28:37 -SERV car -CLIENT saturn" go
Specify the client name with the CLIENT_NAME option in the $HOME/bp.conf or /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the client. For example, the following command specifies saturn as the client to browse.
CLIENT_NAME=saturn
