Hi,
I'm testing a DR plan. I've got my main nbu environment set up to replicate the nbu catalog to the DR site. At the DR site, i have a smaller nbu infrastructure (all nbu 6.5.4 on Solaris 10 (sparc)).
i have paused replication and mounted the catalog on the DR server.
I have created links for the clients I want to restore at /path/to/netbackup/db/images/<client>.
I then launch the Backup, Archive Restore app from the master server. I specify the client in my production site as the source. I specify a local client at the DR site as the target. I can see backups for the source client listed in the browse box. I check a few folders for restoring and start the restore job. The media server mounts the tape, but then fails (within about 30 seconds) with the error:
"The restore failed to recover the requested files" (error 5).
I know that's a generic error, but that's all i get.
I have followed the "recovery without import" guide. ON my DR media server, I have the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER PRIMARY-MEDIA-SERVER DR-MEDIA-SERVER set in the bp.conf.
As far as I can tell, everything should be working.
any idea what I might be missing?
any idea where I can get more detail about why the restore fails? (ie. which logs to check.)
(note: both sites have a master server and a separate media server. name resolution works everywhere. backups are all successful. restore jobs in the DR site for the DR client work. It's just restoring data from the Primary site at the DR site that fails).
thanks!
