cat_export and cat_import

Question

Hi guys,&nbsp;

i found this earlier post which was very handy. Thanks Marriane.&nbsp;

http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/catimport-requirement

i am running 7.5.0.5 on solaris.

2 seperate domains.

&nbsp;

I exported a backup id to default location /usr/openv/netbackup/db.export sueccessfully.

&nbsp;

and also see noticed no errors when imprted at 2nd domain. I can see the backup id via the BAR and also it shows up if i search via the catalog option.

but when I try to restore a file, it keep popping up with a window stating select, date, client, master server.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Only thing that i havn't done is that i have not inventoried the related tape yet into 2nd domain. but shouldn't this let me preview the tape id? or do i have to inventory the related media so a record for this media in the emmDB?

aprreciate your advice.

1) you also needs to copy the image files from the 1st domain to 2nd domain.

i would like to see the below command output in 2nd domain, it if it is listed there or not..

bpimagelist -backupid &lt;image id copied from 1st domain&gt; -L

Hello,

could you show us the Screenshot of the restore window and the popup.

Also curious to see a screenshot.

At this point, only image catalog is searched.
	Media will only be searched for in EMM once you start the restore.

I am also curious to know if you have copied files in images folder as well as running cat_export and cat_import.

Please share all steps that were followed?

I did not copied files in the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images folder on 2nd domain. I simply created /usr/openv/netbackup/db.export and placed the images dir (exported from domain1) here and then ran cat_import.

basically, its a no files Found window

basically i do not see the policyname_ctime_Full.f (data) file on domain 2 under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/&lt;clientname&gt;/&lt;ctime&gt;/&nbsp;
