I have had to change the client name in bp.conf - and the server was using client side dedup.
when I go to try a restore the older files are not listing under the new name - which makes sense.
I thought the next backup job to run would rerun everything with no dedup due to client name change - but it didn't.
so now cannot access older backed files under new client name.
any suggestions?
turn off client side dedup - run another full backup - then turn it back on??

Search for the topic "ALTNAMES", and you will be able to allow the new client name to restore data that was backed-up using the old client name.

thanks - it just looked like it was not re-doing the dedup with the new name

With the new client name it will still deduplicate against previous backups. NetBackup deduplication checks against fingerprints/checksums in the deduplication pool regardless of whether client side or server side deduplication is used. No need to do anything here...
