Hi Scott Problem is described in this TN : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH87200 DataDomain restore is sent to 'Any' media server instead of media server that performed the backup.
Solution: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO44563 Create the touch file USE_BACKUP_MEDIA_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE, as follows: On UNIX and Linux master server, create the file in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config USE_BACKUP_MEDIA_SERVER_FOR_RESTORE is a global setting and always forces restore to the server that did the backup.

Master Server: NBU 7.0.1, Solaris10 Enterprise Client: NBU 7.0.1, RedHat 5.? OST Device: DataDomain 880 So all of our backups go through our master server, whether tape or OST. My issue arrises when we do a restore from the DD, NetBackup can pick the Enterprise Client to do the restore... To begin with the Enterprise client is obviously not defined in any of the clients server lists, secondly, even if it was, it should fail the restore because it is only licensed to backup/restore itself! My understanding is this is a problem with the restore gui, because a restore from the CLI can define the media server to service the restore request. Is anyone else seeing this issue? If so, have you been able to work around it (besides making server admins do restores from the CLI)?
