Hi James, The colon and the backslashes in this path: can’t create file: usr:\local\pathname\to\file (WIN32 3:The system cannot find the path specified.) have me concerned. AFAIK, this is not a valid path in Linux and I would expect to see something like /usr/local/pathname/to/file instead.
Can you verify that's what it says? If so, then try to do an alternate restore to a different location on the box and force it to something like /tmp/filename or /var/tmp/filename or even retyping the original path correctly. We could at least narrow down the ability for you to restore. If that works and the original path selection (default) is throwing the above error, then there is something more serious wrong as it is passing the incorrect path syntax for some reason and the OS is rightfully complaining.

The policy type is Standard within the GUI but I am not sure about the binaries. I installed the Linux client, which I downloaded from Symantec a couple years ago, and basically left them alone. I rarely needed to perform restores on this system, so I would just restore the file to the Windows desktop and transfer it with a CD. Recently though, our developers have made a series of “mistakes” and I am starting to revisit this issue. My lack of knowledge on NBU installed on Unix/Linux is clearly hindering things. Ask all the simplistic questions you need, because it will get me going in the right direction.

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.

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.

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.
