Restoring the media server

If you configured an alternate media server before the media server failure (which is most likely with the automatic failover method), the alternate media server is saved as a host in the original media server's BMR client configuration. Now you can perform a standard restore.

If you did not configure the NetBackup alternate media server before the failure, create and modify a restore configuration to use during the restore.
