Allowing a single client to perform redirected restores
The NetBackup administrator can permit a single client to restore the backups that belong to other clients.
To do so, create an altnames directory on the NetBackup master server where the policy that backed up the other client(s) resides. Place an empty peername file inside of the altnames directory where peername is the client to possess restore privileges.
On Windows:
install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\peername
On UNIX:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/peername
In this case, the requesting client (peername) can access the files that are backed up by another client. The NetBackup client name setting on peername must match the name of the other client.
