You did check the policy type? Are you sure you have the correct binaries installed on the Linux box?
In the backup and recovery GUI what policy type do you specify? It is a Linux file your trying to restore to the Linux box. Forgive the simplistic questions but I'm just trying to eliminate the obvious. J It is probably something very simple, but I don't have a similar environment here to test it.

II; veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Windows Server and Linux Clients I guess the first thing I'd check is if the policy type is standard. As you've only had windows in the past this might have been missed. Otherwise there is no difference doing restores to alternate OSes than the master. I have done windows to NIX, NIX to windows, etc. Regards, Patrick Whelan VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX.

II Sent: 31 March 2011 13:56 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Windows Server and Linux Clients We have a development system that is currently being backed up with a Windows master/media server and approximately 10 Linux clients. I have been unable to successfully restore directly from the Windows server to the Linux clients. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions on how to restore directly between the two? I have never installed a Linux NBU master/media server (because we only had a Windows version of NBU until now). Are NBU master/media servers on Linux equivalent to the Windows version (GUI, command-line commands, etc.)? The system is currently running a Windows Server 2003 master/media server running NBU 7.0 and all the clients, at this point, are RedHat Linux.
