    No.Restrictions does what its says, it removes the restriction for ALL clients.

     

    If you don't want to do that you create a file with the name of the destination client. In the file you put the client names that the destination client is allowed to browse.

    I recommend a more safe approach .

    go to [install_path]/netbackup/db/altnames/

    If directory does not exist - create it. Then create a file with with name server e.g. srv1.acme.com and as content of file the server name to be restored e.g old.acme.com

    This approach is more safe as you only allow one server to restore to another, and not disabling security completely as done with "No.Restrictions".
