Configuring redirected restores

In an SAP HANA multiple-host system, recover data of one host by another host with the following instructions.

To allow a host to redirect a restore

On the primary server, create the altnames file for the host that you want to have permissions to perform redirected restores.
For example, to give HostB permissions to restore from another host, create the following file:
- On Windows
  install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\HostB
- On Linux
  /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/HostB
In the altnames file, add the names of the clients whose files the requesting client wants to restore.
For example, if you want HostB to have permissions to redirect restores from HostA, add HostA to the HostB file.
