OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK option for NetBackup clients

The OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK entry specifies that the client should use the client-direct restore path rather than use the bptm process on a NetBackup media server. The client-direct restore path bypasses the NetBackup media server for the restore jobs. Configure this entry on the NetBackup clients that you want to receive data directly from a Media Server Deduplication Pool storage server.

Before you decommission a media server that hosts a Media Server Deduplication Pool, deactivate MSDP on that media server. See the NetBackup Deduplication Guide for your release.
