How MSDP restores work
The following two methods exist to for MSDP restore operations:

Normal restore |
The MSDP storage server first rehydrates (that is, reassembles) the data. NetBackup then chooses the least busy media server to move the data to the client. (NetBackup chooses the least busy media server from those that have credentials for the NetBackup Deduplication Engine.) The media server bptm process moves the data to the client. The following media servers have credentials for the NetBackup Deduplication Engine:
You can specify the server to use for restores.

Restore directly to the client |
The storage server can bypass the media server and move the data directly to the client. You must configure NetBackup to bypass a media server and receive the restore data directly from the storage server. See Configuring MSDP restores directly to a client. By default, NetBackup decompresses the data on the NetBackup media server except for client direct restore. In that case, the data decompression is done on the client. You can configure NetBackup so that the data is decompressed on the client rather than the storage server. See the RESTORE_DECRYPT_LOCAL parameter in the MSDP |
