Before you restore the backups, you must meet the following prerequisites:
Ensure that versions of the MySQL agent and NetBackup are same. If you upgrade NetBackup to newer version, then you must upgrade the agent version also.

Ensure that the target directory is a valid instance directory.
(Non-LVM) Ensure the MySQL services are running.

- Verify that the MySQL services are running for Non-LVM restores.
- Run the following command:
nbmysql -o restore -S master_server_name -t target_directory -p db_port [-i copy_id] [-C client_name]
