No this is incorrect, what you describe is simply relocating the file
during the restore. A directed recovery is fully supported in NetWorker,
and has the concept of three separate components:

(1) The source client, which backed up the data.
(2) The destination client, receiving the restored data.
(3) The controlling workstation, originating the recovery.

There could be less than three physical machines involved, for instance (1)
and (2) might be the same, or (2) and (3) might be the same, there are
several possible combinations.

Using the recover command, you need to use the -c parameter to specify the
source client, and the -R parameter to specify the destination client, but
you don't necessarily need to run this from either of those machines. Using
winworkr, this is available within the GUI. I'm not sure that you can do
this from nwrecover in Unix, although I am happy to be corrected.

In some circumstances of course you need to configure the remote access
list for the source client before you can do this.
