Backing up / Restoring

[BTUser]

I have a few questions when trying to backup and restore a HPUX system with the following structure.. 11.31 Itanium

After a few trial runs, the restore seems to drop /alu/SCDEPOT and /alu/APPLICATION (which both have their own filesystem) into the /alu filesystem. This happens with the other filesystems like /usr/Systems etc. This leads me to two questions.

1. Can I configure NetBackup to restore the filesystems (/dev/vg00/lvolxx) ? So far I have had to keep doing this manually. Using DHCP is not an option, and when I have tried to create a boot media DVD it fails. Ideally in a disaster I would like to build an OS, install the client locally and then restore filesystem / files to their correct filesystem over the network.
2. Can I restore the contents of each filesystem as it was pre-restore?
    

Thanks

First of all, please tell us how you configured the policy and what you are to do.

You are talking about BMR backup and recovery? What did you do as trial? Post output of "bppllist your_policy -U". Also check if /alu/SCDEPOT and /alu/APPLICATION have been backed up.

Hi Yasuhisa,

From Netbackup Admin Console..
Policy Type: Standard
Data Classification: No data Classification
Policy Storage: Client_backup
Backup Selections: ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES

I have tried various options of Follow NFS, Cross Mount Points and Bare Metal Restore. Most Recent backup I only selected Bare Metal Restore.

How do I get the output of bppllist your_policy -U... We are using a Windows backup Server to a HPUX client.

*Edit* Most recent backup generates the following problem reports..
BMRERR: failed to connect via vnetd to bmr master daemon: cannot connect to socket (25)
backup of client name exited with status 1 (the requested operation was partially successful)

Never seen either of those before but the backup does appear to be complete from Backup gui
