Netbackup 7.1 Linux File Recovery
Hello everyone,
I have a client that was using netbackup 7.1 to back up their servers to tape. This was done with a Windows Server 2008 standard SP2 machine. I need to recover a old Linux clients files but as we know I can not do this with my Windows machine but I do not have the software or any of the license information for the clients account. Is there another product for Linux that will be able to recover the files from the tape? Or are they Netbackup specific (I assume the latter).
I do have access to both Hyper-V and ESXi if i could make a vmdk file from the image, but windows seemed to not know how to handle the files still and I do not think this will work either.
Thanks,
Adam
Hello,
you can backup/restore Linux clients with Windows Master/Media Servers and vice versa. Remember NetBackup is heterogenous system and the rule about Linux Master would be a large restriction.
