can specify specific media server to restore for specific clients?

i am looking to force restores to a specific client to use an alternate media server with out impacting other restores

when u set /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/USE_BACKUP_MEDIA_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE it will use the same media server that did the backup.

and when its not set u can set FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER in bp.conf but that changes everything from that media server

As far as I am aware, it is not possible to specify a media server for a particular client - well not the way you are doing.

What you can do is 'assign' the media to a media server.

bpimage -newserver <new media server name> -oldserver <old media servername> -id <media id>

If used with -update , instead of media id I think you can specify a backupid.

Please tell us more about your environment - what kind of backups? disk or tape?

If disk - OST, Advanced or Basic disk?

Hmm, seems I was wrong, Mariannes links suggest :

Use the bprestore command with the -disk_media_serveroption.

would work for a single restore.

I think Marianne should have this solution - it seems I was unaware of the -disk_media_server option which would be a solution to your problem, and in fairness, marianne posted the TN that explained this.

Too many NetBackup commands ...
