Configuring MSDP restores directly to a client
The NetBackup MSDP storage server can move restore data directly to an MSDP client, bypassing the media server components.
To enable restores directly to a client
- Set the OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK option to YES on the client. The OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK option is stored in the
bp.conffile on UNIX systems and the registry on Windows systems.See Setting NetBackup configuration options by using the command line.
- On the primary server, run the following command to configure NetBackup to use client-direct restores for the client:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclient -client client_name -update -client_direct_restore 2
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpclient -client client_name -update -client_direct_restore 2
