Full restore of linux client machine to another linux box
Currently we have netbackup 7.5 server running on windows 2008 server. I am trying to restore a linux client machine (opensus). Something changed over past few months which is no go with one of my new manager so without touching the existing box i would like to restore the client machine to Dec full backup. Can i clone the existing machine (vmware 5.1), shut down the current one and restore entire client machine on the clone one? Any help will be appreciated.
From what you are saying it sounds like this relates to a VMware backup?
If so then just do a re-directed restore to vCenter but choose not to power the machine on at the end of the restore
That gives you the chance to disconnect the network before powering it up to get the information from it that you need
#edit#
All done via a console session in vCenter of course
