Configuring MSDP restores directly to a client

The NetBackup MSDP storage server can move restore data directly to an MSDP client, bypassing the media server components.

To enable restores directly to a client

Set the OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK option to YES on the client. The OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK option is stored in the bp.conf file on UNIX systems and the registry on Windows systems.
See Setting NetBackup configuration options by using the command line.
On the master server, run the following command to configure NetBackup to use client-direct restores for the client:
UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpclient -client client_name -update -client_direct_restore 2
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bpclient -client client_name -update -client_direct_restore 2
