    Hi Priyeranjan 

    Okay - if you look at the reload.sql file, in the create table section, you will notice that the NetBackupVersion, is the 14th field (also, the machine NBUtype is field 8). 

    From the screenshot, the second line shows the master server (NBU type 3) "blackops.playstation.sony.com" with the version showing as 750600 or 7.5.0.6

    Cheers
    David

To be able to start the database the server would need to be configured to use the same name as the master when it was backed up.

If you managed to restore the staging folder check you the server is configured with the same name as shown in the vxdbms.conf file ( but without the leading NB_)

If you installed nbu with a different name you will not be able to do the recovery.

I was able to verify the master server name from dr file imported from tape and the bp.conf

The master is set with same name as you can see in the logs.

I didn’t see the temp folder, not sure what else will help
