We use those switches as well but it seems like your range is somewhat
narrow. While Netbackup can backup with one port it requires 3 to restore
(don't quote me on that) or something like that.

Here are the settings we use on the server and clients:

ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 13740 13750


The next line is required on the server if restoring one of these clients
files into an alternate location.

Substitute the interface that the client is on (ie. serverge0, ge1, ge2,
ge3, ge4, ge5) for the one that the client you want to restore to is on and
restart netbackup (reread daemon request).
#
#REQUIRED_INTERFACE = serverge1

Hello everyone,

I am trying ot do a restore to a client through
non_reserved_ports.

Here is what the client bp.conf looks like:

 /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
 ::::::::::::::
 SERVER = db1
 SERVER_PORT_WINDOW = 4999 5000
 CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 5001 5010
 ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
 RANDOM_PORTS = NO
 CLIENT_NAME = www2
 VERBOSE

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here is the bp.conf from the server...
 ::::::::::::::
 SERVER = db1
 CLIENT_NAME = db1
 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR
 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR
 ALLOW_MULTIPLE_RETENTIONS_PER_MEDIA
 #
 BELIEVE_MOUNTS
 VERBOSE
 CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 1800
 CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 500
 BPSTART_TIMEOUT = 1800
 ALLOW_NDMP
 ALLOW_FLASHBACKUP
 ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
 RANDOM_PORTS = NO
 SERVER_PORT_WINDOW = 4999 5000
 CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 5001 5010
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
we have run the following command on the server:
/bpclient -client www2 -add -connect_nr_port 1
bpclient: the entity already exists (226)
