Hi guys,
i found this earlier post which was very handy. Thanks Marriane.
http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/catimport-requirement
i am running 7.5.0.5 on solaris.
2 seperate domains.
I exported a backup id to default location /usr/openv/netbackup/db.export sueccessfully.
and also see noticed no errors when imprted at 2nd domain. I can see the backup id via the BAR and also it shows up if i search via the catalog option.
but when I try to restore a file, it keep popping up with a window stating select, date, client, master server.
Only thing that i havn't done is that i have not inventoried the related tape yet into 2nd domain. but shouldn't this let me preview the tape id? or do i have to inventory the related media so a record for this media in the emmDB?
aprreciate your advice.

1) you also needs to copy the image files from the 1st domain to 2nd domain.
i would like to see the below command output in 2nd domain, it if it is listed there or not..
bpimagelist -backupid <image id copied from 1st domain> -L

Hello,
could you show us the Screenshot of the restore window and the popup.

Also curious to see a screenshot.
At this point, only image catalog is searched.
Media will only be searched for in EMM once you start the restore.
I am also curious to know if you have copied files in images folder as well as running cat_export and cat_import.
Please share all steps that were followed?

I did not copied files in the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images folder on 2nd domain. I simply created /usr/openv/netbackup/db.export and placed the images dir (exported from domain1) here and then ran cat_import.
basically, its a no files Found window

just copied the .f file over from domain 1 to domain 2 to /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/<clientname>/ctime/
and it works but will test the restore once i have the domain available in domain2.
thanks for looking into this for me and your time.

That is what I was trying to explain this morning....
The documents in the post that you have found explains the 2-step images copy -
cat_export and cat_import for the header files and 'files' files (.f) in netbackup/db/images folder.
Please do not forget to write-protect the tapes and to put them in a non-backup pool.
