From the Admin Guide:
"...
The FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER entry forces restores to go to a specific server, regardless of where the files were backed up. The format for the entry follows:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER= from_host  to_host
Where from_host is the server that performed the original backup and to_host is the server to use for the restore

But according to the following T/N http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/346827.htm
"...
note that FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER does not work for disk based backups prior to NetBackup 6.5.4
