Recovering a windows client via a Unix Master

[wojo]

I have been asked to recover windows 2003 clients via an HP Unix master. However, the problem is that these clients origianlly belonged to a windows based master.

Can I still do a phase1/2 import of these tapes to my Unix master or must I build a windows master just for these restores?

Thanks for your assistance.....

Yes, you can use a Unix master. Phase 1 & 2 import on HP-UX master should not be a problem.

Just check forward and reverse hostname lookup between server and client before you start the restore and create log folders on the client: bpcd and tar.

As always most appreciated!

Let us know how it goes! Especially the import...

Phase 1 and 2 imports worked fine. All data recovered.
