About modifying the NetBackup catalogs
To perform alternate server restores by modifying the NetBackup catalogs, change the contents of the NetBackup catalogs. Use this method only when the server reassignment is permanent.
Some examples of when to use this method are as follows:
Media is moved to an off-site location, where a media server exists.
A robot was moved from one server to another.
Two (or more) servers share a robot, each with connected drives and one of the servers is to be disconnected or replaced.
Two (or more) servers each have their own robots. One of the server's robots has run out of media capacity for future backups, while several empty slots exist on another server's robot.
The actual steps that are used vary depending on whether the original server is still available.
