Usage | Description |
|---|---|
Where to use | On NetBackup primary servers. |
How to use | Use the nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the option. For information about these commands, see the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide. Use the following format: FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = from_host to_host Where from_host is the server that performed the original backup and to_host is the server to use for the restore. Stop and restart the NetBackup Request daemon on the primary server after adding the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER option. Physically move the media to to_host before attempting a restore. Update the Media Manager volume database to reflect the move. This setting applies to all storage units on the original server. Restores for any storage unit on from_host go to to_host. To revert to the original configuration for future restores, delete the option. |
