1. The administrator creates the following file on the master server:
install_path
\NetBackup\db\altnames\freddie
2. The user on freddie changes the NetBackup client name setting on freddie
to oscar.
Allowing Alternate-Client Restores of Specific Client’s Files
The administrator can give a single client permission to restore backups
belonging to specific other clients by creating and then adding client names to
the single client’s install_path
\NetBackup\db\altnames\
peername
file.
In this case, the client named by peername can restore files backed up by
another client if:
The name of the other client appears in the peername file.
and
The NetBackup client name setting on the peername
client is changed to
match the client name in the peername file.
For example, assume that a user on a Windows NT client named freddie wants
to restore files backed up by a client named oscar:
1. The administrator creates the following file on the master server:
install_path
\NetBackup\db\altnames\freddie
2. The administrator enters the name oscar on a separate line in the freddie
file.
3. The user on freddie changes the NetBackup client name setting on freddie
to oscar.
Examples of Restoring Files to an Alternate Client
This section provides examples of configuring NetBackup to allow clients to
restore files that were backed up by other clients. These example methods can
be required when a client connects through a gateway or has multiple Ethernet
connections. In all cases, the client you are restoring to must have an
image-catalog directory on the master server in
install_path
\NetBackup\db\images\
client_name
