Additional restriction for restoring data that uses SHA-2 algorithm
NetBackup 8.1 MSDP introduces SHA-2 fingerprinting. As a result, there is a restriction when using client-direct restore on a pre-8.1 client.
You cannot use client-direct restore from a back-level client to restore data that is backed up to a media server or from a client that uses the new SHA-2 algorithm. However, you may choose to restore the data using a server that supports SHA-2.
This restriction is in addition to the other notes and restrictions that are listed in "About MSDP fingerprinting" in the NetBackup Deduplication Guide for NetBackup 8.1.
