Performing an NDMP restore from the server
User-directed restores of files are not allowed, because no NetBackup client software is installed on an NDMP host.
NetBackup administrators can use the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on a NetBackup primary server or media server to restore files to the original NDMP host or to a different NDMP host.
For help with the restore procedure, see the NetBackup online Help in the NetBackup Administration Console or the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide.
To perform an NDMP restore from the server
- In the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on a NetBackup server, click Actions > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.
- For the server, select the NetBackup primary server.
If your configuration has multiple primary servers, specify the primary server that has the policy for the NDMP host that you plan to restore. If the server name is not in the pull-down list, use Edit Server List to add it.
- For the source clients and destination clients, select the appropriate NDMP (NAS) hosts.
The destination host must be an NDMP host compatible with the data format of the source. (The source and destination must be of the same NAS vendor type.)
If the hosts that you want are not available in the pull-down menu, use Edit Client List to add the client.
- In the policy type field, select NDMP.
