Hello,
I'm on NBU 5.1 MP4.
I would like to restore a media from a media server to an another media server.
What is the best way ?

I may be off track here, but I'd think one way you could do this is just to import the media on the media server that you plan to do the restore from. You'll have to do both a phase 1 and phase 2 import. Once completed, the image will have been imported into the desired media servers' catalog db.

Ricky Roo,
bpimport process is not needed.

Please be more specific with your request.
Do you mean?
Client-A is backed up by MediaServer-1
Do you want to simply use MediaServer-2 to restore to Client-A
Do you want to restore Client-A data to MediaServer-2?
Do you want to restore MediaServer-1 data to MediaServer-2?
Are these SAN media servers or full media servers?

My problem is simple ;)

I have 2 media server separed by a Firewall.
ClientA is backed up by MediaServer-1 on librarie LIb1.
ClientB is backed up by MediaServer-2 on librarie LIb2.
I want restore ClientA data on ClientB but not through the firewall.
My idea is to get the media from Lib1, put the media in Lib2 and restore, but I need the exact protocol to achieve my objective :)

I'd just use movedb:
./bpmedia -movedb -m mediaid -newserver MediaServer-2 -olderserver MediaServer-1 -v
