    The master server console can always perform a redirected restore. If you wan't to grant a single server restore right from another server use the instruction listed below:

    From the Netbackup Administrator for Windows volume 1 guide page 883:

    The NetBackup administrator can permit a single client to restore the backups
    that belong to other clients. Create a peername file on the NetBackup master
    server where the policy that backed up the other client(s) resides.
    Note: The information in this topic applies to restores made by using the command
    line, not the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface.
    Create an altnames directory in the following location, then place the empty file
    inside of the directory:

    Install_path\NetBackup\db\altnames\peername

    Where peername is the client to possess restore privileges.
    In this case, the requesting client (peername) can access the files that are backed
    up by another client. The NetBackup client name setting on peername must match
    the name of the other client.
