I'm wondering if anyone has observed strange behavior like this with
regard to media server dedupe pools and associated replication and
restores.
Here's our scenario...
We have 2 media server dedupe pools setup. One hangs off a local media
server. The other hangs off a media server at
Typical,
The DR media server is trying to read the primary image from the primary
storage server are send it back to the primary client.
One way to resolve this is to use the media host override option.
Another way is to delete the DR media server from the primary storage server
and
Stefanos,
We understand that the typical behavior or NBU is to look for the
primary image on the primary storage and to look to restore it to the
primary client. That is what we want to occur with each of these
restore attempts. We will only ever want the remote media server to
handle
I seldom get on the library GUI and close them, and it *never* closes them
itself. Eventually it will have a Clean Periodic open for each of the five
drives (they are HP LTO5 drives if that makes any difference). When the drive
calls for cleaning again it will not send an alert but update the
It's by design. OST will try to use the least busy media server with
credentials. Media Host Override is one way to get around the behavior and get
it to do what you want.

Scott,
Thanks so much for your reply. So if I understand correctly, I add the
following in the bp.conf on the master server FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER
= nbumedia2 where nbumedia2 is the name of the media server I want to
use for restores ?
I had no idea that this was by design when using

We actually just added this entry and (knock on wood) it appears to be doing
what we want (and what you guys have said it would !!). I should have reached
out to the mailing list sooner because I've had a sev 2 ticket open with

We ran into this problem a few months ago when I got a call from our
offshore support team who was trying to restore a file in Ireland, but it
was running reeal slow. Turns out that the media server in Germany was
reading the image off the Ireland media server and then sending it back

Actually,
In the case of the restore I described, it actually did use the local copy
to do the restore, it just used a remote media server to do it. It wasn't
an issue of which copy to restore from, it was which media server would do
the restore. The USE_BACKUP_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE option fit the
