About restoring NetBackup media servers

You can restore NetBackup media servers if they are protected as BMR clients (exception: you cannot restore a media server that is co-located with a NetBackup master server).

The following options exist for restoring NetBackup media servers:

  • If you back up a media server to a different media server, restore the protected media server as you restore any protected client.

    See About restoring BMR clients using network boot.

    See About restoring BMR clients using media boot.

  • A media server can back up its own data using SCSI-attached storage devices or SAN-attached storage devices. If this is true for you, use BMR to restore the media server by first configuring NetBackup to use an alternate media server.

More information is available.

See About configuring an alternate media server.
