About restoring BMR clients using network boot
Note:
Review the NetBackup 8.1.1 secure communication compatibility support matrix for BMR table to know more about the supported master, boot server, client, and SRT versions for Linux, Windows, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX environments.See Secure communication compatibility matrices for BMR for NetBackup 8.1.1 and later releases.
Note:
For clients with NetBackup 8.1.1 and later versions installed, NetBackup does not support BMR restore operations in AIX and HP-UX environments. However, BMR restore operations are supported in Linux, Windows, and Solaris environments.
Use these procedures for a standard restore (also known as a self restore, which is a restore to the same system and disks).
Note:
If NetBackup access control management is used in your environment, you must provide the appropriate credentials when prompted so that NetBackup can restore the client files. To restore BMR Windows or UNIX client, you MUST perform bpnbat -addmachine on master server before restoring the client.
To restore using media boot requires that you first create bootable media. | Refer sections on creating boot media. |
Before you do a standard restore, you must run the prepare to restore operation using the current, saved configuration. | |
The procedure for restoring the client system depends on the manufacturer and mode. | See Restoring an AIX client with network boot. See Restoring a Solaris client with network boot. See Restoring an HP-UX client with network boot. |
Other information about restoring clients is available. |
See About performing complete backups. |
