About NetBackup catalog recovery on Windows computers

On Windows computers, the NetBackup media server host names are stored in the Windows registry. (They also are stored in the NetBackup catalog.)

If you install NetBackup during a catalog recovery scenario, ensure that you enter your media server names during the installation. Doing so adds them to the registry. Your catalog recovery and any subsequent backups that use the existing media servers and storage devices then function correctly.
