BMR: Could not read saved configuration file=X:\bmrcli.xml
I am testing Bare Metal Recovery. Test environment is virtual (VMware).The recovered system is booted from boot ISO. It connects to the master server but during the step "Establishing restore environment" this error message is shown: The restore has stopped due to the following error: Could not read saved configuration file, file=X:\bmrcli.xml NetBackup servers and client version is 10.3. Any ideas? Thank you.
Creation of SRT fails at NBU Client install
HI everybody, My context : - NBU : 8.3.0.1 - OS : Master Server Win2K12R2 : Boot server Win2K19 (1809) I'm trying to create a SRT from my boot server. Based on a Veritas TN, i installed the ADK 10.0 v.1607 (after installing the EEB 4036366) : In these cases, the ADK version downloaded should match that expected by the EEB, namely 1607 which is available at If a later version is downloaded instead, these may give an error when specified to the SRT wizard, e.g 1703 or 1709 – setup appears to complete successful from ADK side, but the SRT wizard displays an error and won’t continue 1809 or later – setup fails on launching with error from “OptionId.WindowsPreInstallationEnvironment not available” (as win PE has been removed from version 1809 onwards which is required by BMR) When i try to create the SRT, the setup runs, SRT seems to be OK, and it asks me to give the path to NBU CLient. Checks are green, and i have a message saying : "Installation of Veritas Netbackup client to the SRT failed , click Back"Errors while creating a SRT(RHEL)
Hi I am now trying to run a BMR. So, when I am creating the SRT, I get the following error and cannot create it. The information on the server I am using is below.

Is this error because RHEL8.6 is not supported? Or is there some other cause? Thanks.

BMR Restore VM-VM
Hi, NBU 7.7.3 / Windows 2008R2 VMs I'm trying to restore a Windows VM to a new Windows VM which has the same configuration, i.e. disks, sizes, memory etc. I created a new client and edited the routes and interfaces adding the new IP address into the config. The Master and Media servers are in the Hosts config and I think that the Routes are ok. When I start the PTR and the new restore client boots I first get the message "Failed to retrieve any configurations from the server" I "OK" the message and at the menu, if I look in the "Network" menu and check in the "Configure Network Connection Settings", sometimes the Networking services are started, sometimes they are not. However, the default gateway always shows as 0.0.0.0, but the new IP and subnet are ok. So I set it to the correct gateway address and click ok, then go back to "Restore". If I click on "Automated BMR Restore" I get the same "Failed to retrieve..." message, so I try "Generic BMR Restore" and again, the gateway is 0.0.0.0. Also, sometimes the NBU Master Server IP is 0.0.0.0. So I add the gateway address in again (and NBU IP if needed) and click "Contact Master Server". The new config is retrieved and I click on "Restore Client". The restore starts and after a short while the disk mapping menu is displayed, so I add the disks. After clicking ok to continue I get the message; "The restore has stopped due to the following error: Failed to verify the backup --rc(25) Should I be using the "Backup VLAN" to do this restore? I have tried with both service and backup LANs configured, but nothing seems to make much difference. I also have the new host in the "hosts" file on the Master server. I am getting really frustrated as I can't seem to fix this and I've been at this for 2 weeks now... Please can anyone advise me or give me something to check? Thanks - Mark
