From activity monitor, is it showing error 37.

How - from client or master server ?

If from client - have you created altname permissions on the master server ?

hi nicolai,

i am restoring from client.

destination is to another client.

i created altname in both client. << is this correct? or must do in the master?

No - altnames files must be created on the master server.

Only the master server can authorize redirected restore from clients.

See this TN:

Configuring the NetBackup server for redirected restores

thanks Nicolai and Marianne.

Any restrictions in restoring between Linux <> Solaris?

[Marianne]

Restores between *nix clients is perfectly supported.
