    CLIENT_NAME
    Specifies the name of the client as it is known to NetBackup. There can be one CLIENT_NAME entry and it must match the name used in the policy that is backing up the client. The only exception is for an alternate client restore, where the name must match that of the client whose files are being restored. (See “Allowing Redirected Restores” on NetBackup Configuration Options 486 NetBackup DataCenter System Administrator’s Guide - UNIX page 309.) The client installation procedures automatically set CLIENT_NAME to the value specified on the ftp_to_client or install_client command in the installation scripts. You can add this option to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on a UNIX client. It can also be added to a $HOME/bp.conf file on a UNIX client but this is normally done only for alternate-client restores. If the value is not in any bp.conf file, NetBackup uses the value returned by the gethostname() library function.
