Logging the status of a redirected restore
A redirected restore may not produce a progress log. The name of the requesting server must appear in the server list for the server that performs the restore. Otherwise, no progress log is produced for a redirected restore.(A progress log is an entry in the Task Progress tab of the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface.)
Without the entry in the server list, the restoring server has no access to write the log files to the requesting server. Add the requesting server to the server list and log into the requesting server.
To produce a progress log
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, in the left pane, expand NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Primary Servers.
- In the right pane, double-click the primary server you want to modify.
In the properties dialog box, in the left pane, click Servers.
- Perform one of the following actions:

- Log on to the restoring server.
Check the Activity Monitor to determine the success of the restore operation.
