Netbackup seeding client

[yobole]

Hi Guys just need clarification what the Netbackup seeding client should be when we edit the pd.conf file on a remore client

FP_CACHE_CLIENT_POLICY = clienthostmachine,backuppolicy,date

I have a remote site MRemoteServer .

I have backed up the data from MRemoteServer  onto tape and sent to Central backup location site .

I have then Restored this data onto DRServer

I have then ran a policy SeedingPlolicy with  DRServer as the client to backup the restored data into my Netbackup dedupe pool MSDP1

I now go to the remote server MRemoteServer and edit the pd.conf file

Whats is the seeding client ? what should I put in the pd.conf file on MRemoteServer before I run the first backup

FP_CACHE_CLIENT_POLICY = DRServer,SeedingPolicy,01/31/2015

or

FP_CACHE_CLIENT_POLICY = MRemoteServer,SeedingPolicy,01/31/2015

This one

FP_CACHE_CLIENT_POLICY = DRServer,SeedingPolicy,01/31/2015

The Seed Client is the server from which you'll take the finger print cache. In other words, the DR server where you restored and backed up the data.
