RE: Critical restore issue with Veritas

A couple more things to add to this topic:

What you were attempting to do typically goes by one of the following names: "cross host/node restore", "alternate host/node restore" or "redirected restore" and it requires special configuration for Netbackup to allow this. For details, see Metalink Notes 183061.1 & 209117.1 and the following Veritas doc: http://support.veritas.com/docs/196781

Regarding the logs Jermemiah mentioned below, there is also a verbose setting that can be very helpful in troubleshooting these problems. On Unix systems, there is a file called bp.conf, usually found in
/usr/openv/netbackup. This is a plain text files with a few simple
configuration lines like the netbackup SERVER and CLIENT names, and optionally you can add a line like VERBOSE=5, which will cause netbackup to write MUCH more detail to the logs. This can be very helpful for troubleshooting, but be sure to remove the line, or lower the verbose level (to 3 or lower) for normal operation or else it can slow things down and fill up your disk.

HTH,
Brandon

Netbackup logs into a variety of log files in
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/.

Your best bet to get the real reason for failure is to look in those logs.
