Need command line Syntax to restore from one server to another
- 9 years agoHello!First check that you have permissions as it's indicated by StefanosM, take care with No.restrictions because it will do available Restore to any client, you can configure to restore to only that one.Check this TNs: ttp://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO103842For change the destination client you should use:
- -D client
-
Specifies a destination client. The default is the current client name.
On UNIX systems, the master server root user can use this option to do the following: Direct restored files to a computer other than the client that the -C option specifies.
On Windows systems, the master server administrator can use this option to do the following: Direct restored files to a computer other than the client that the -C option specifies.
For different client:
>bprestore -B -L <progress log> -C <sourceClient> -D <destinationClient> -R <RenameFileList> -f <RestoreFileList>

In addition to above excellent info, add '-s' for start date. Without -e (end-date) the current date will automatically be selected.
-s 8/24/2015
Create bprd log folder on the master server if it does not exist already.
Restart NBU on master to enable this log.Other log folders:
On media server: bptm and bpbrm (no restart needed)
On destination client: bpcd and tar (no restart needed)Since you are having a problem with browsing in BAR GUI, you may want to check if bplist is working.
On master:
bplist -C <source client> -s 8/24/2015 -R 4 /G/mjfage/_upload - 9 years ago
- You’re welcome. All of that is explained in the first TN.
- As Marianne said, -s for dates.
- -R is for rename the path (onñy if you lije to do that), and –f is:
- -f listfile
-
Specifies a file (listfile) that contains a list of files to be restored and can be used instead of the filenames option. In listfile, list each file path must be on a separate line.
The required format for the file list depends on whether the files have spaces or newlines in the names.
To restore the files that do not have spaces or new lines in the names, use this format:
filepath
Where filepath is the path to the file that you restore. For example:
Note:
For Windows systems, use upper case for the drive letter. For example,
C:\NetBackup\Log1
.UNIX systems:
/home /etc /var
Windows systems:
C:\programs C:\winnt C:\documents\old_memos
To restore the files that have spaces or new lines in the names, use one of the following formats:
filepathlen filepath filepathlen filepath start_date_time end_date_time filepathlen filepath -s datetime -e datetime
The filepath is the path to the file you restore.
The filepathlen is the total number of characters in the file path.
The start_date_time and end_date_time are the decimal number of seconds since 01/01/1970 00:00:00.
datetime is the same as the command line (mm/dd/yy [hh[:mm[:ss]]]). The command uses the start date, end date, and time from the command line unless a line in listfile overrides it. The dates may change from line to line.
The required date and time values format in NetBackup commands varies according to your locale. The
/usr/openv/msg/.conf
file (UNIX) and theinstall_path\VERITAS\msg\LC.CONF
file (Windows) contain information such as the date-time formats for each supported locale. The files contain specific instructions on how to add or modify the list of supported locales and formats.See "About specifying the locale of the NetBackup installation" in the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume II.
To exclude a file or a directory path that was previously included in the restore, place an exclamation mark (!) in front of the file or the directory path. This exclude option is not supported by NDMP restores and FlashBackup.
The following is an example that uses filepathlen filepath:
UNIX systems:
5 /home 4 /etc 4 /var 19 /home/abc/test file 12 !/etc/passwd
Windows systems:
11 C:\programs 8 C:\winnt 22 C:\documents\old memos 17 !C:\programs\test -f filenames
Names one or more files to be restored and can be used instead of the -f option.
Any files that you specify must be listed at the end of the command line after all other options. You must use absolute file paths.
To exclude a file or a directory path that was previously included in the restore, place an exclamation mark (!) in front of the file or the directory pat. Exceptions: NDMP restores.
For Windows systems, use upper case for the drive letter. For example,
C:\NetBackup\log1
