You say that you are restoring to the same location, but the client name is different?
Backup was taken on client name pbad-dc1.
You are trying to restore to client name pbaddc1 ?
Why is that?
pbad-dc1 != pbaddc1

Hi
Just make sure you select the correct entry as "destination server" in Backup Archive and Restore GUI.
Since this is a AD server .. your selection should be
Source Server = pbad-dc1
Destination Server = pbad-dc1
Hope it helps.

Hello Pats,
i am selecting the correct "Destination Server" in Backup Archive & Restore GUI.
but i am not sure why it's showing host name different i tried multiple times but failed to restore the backup.
Actually my domain server is on Windows 2003 32bits and NBU Version is 7.6.
our Master server is on Windows 2008 R2 64 bits & NBU Version is 7.6.1.1
if the Master server and Client server NBU Version are in different version due that may be restores getting failed.
Please find the attachment of Backup Archive & Restore GUI details.

I agree with @pats_729
Thake a step back and double-check if all requirements are in place.
I suggest that you have a look at this Blueprint article:
https://vox.veritas.com/t5/Articles/Netbackup-7-6-Blueprints-Active-Directory/ta-p/808669
Please download the pdf at the bottom of the article.
The pdf doc covers everything needed for successful backup and restore.
Once you have verified that all pre-reqs are in place and policy config is correct, have a look at the restore examples and the logs that are needed to troubleshoot restore issues.
NBU Admin Guide I also explains restore steps.
I prefer logging level 3 on server(s) and client, as the default logging level 0 is not always sufficient for troubleshooting.
(Only enable level 5 logging if you plan to log a call with Veritas Support).
