Veritas NetBackup™ DataStore SDK Programmer's Guide for XBSA 1.1.0

Redirected restore to a different client

One specific type of restore that deserves special notice is what is considered a redirected restore to a different client. An XBSA object is stored within NetBackup with a specific client from which it was backed up. The default is to assume that the object is being restored to the same client. If the hostname that is initiating the restore is different from the hostname on which the object was backed up, the NBBSA_CLIENT_HOST environment variable needs to be set.

The NBBSA_CLIENT_HOST must be set, before entering the transaction, to the hostname on which the object was backed up. If this variable has not been specified, the NetBackup XBSA interface cannot find the object.
