Note the following for UNIX clients:

• To restore an entire raw partition, ensure that the partition is not mounted and not in use. (For this reason, you cannot perform a raw partition restore to the root partition, or to the partition on which NetBackup is installed.) If a database uses the partition, shut down the database. The partition must be the same size as when it was backed up; otherwise, the results of the restore are unpredictable.

• After a raw partition restore of a VxFS file system, a file system consistency check (fsck) is usually required before the file system can be mounted.
