Netbackup Restore error 5

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to restore some files, but if I try to restore to different location than original, it gives me error 5, even before it start restoring.

 

Anyone knows how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

    as per screen shosts you are using the backup archive & restore window  and also restore job did not even started.

    does you Master is in Unix or windows...

    Did you open the backup archive restore window as run as adminstrator?

    open the backup archive & restore window as  Run as Adminstrator

      also try starting the retsore job from java console. 

    reffer below technote....

    Status 5 is a generic error saying that the restore has failed. This means that we need more info....

    Please show us all text in Details tab of Activity Monitor as well as all text in 'View Status' tab of the BAR GUI.

    It will be great if you could post screenshots of your restore steps as well.

    If I restore to the same location, it works, but to alternate location, does not.

    Hello Andre,

    As Marianne and sir vani requested, we will need the detailed status of the failed job. Please reply with that here if you can. 

    I also see your Policy type is VM but your doing a file level restore, do you have the NetBackup client installed on the VM guest?
