Most likely from the Netbackup SysAdmin guide or Media Manager guide
perhaps?
Wasn't the original question about using bprecover on the same server which
would be in standby?

Thanks for the information.  Could you please let me know what document you
got that information from, so I can downloaded and review it.

Thanks

Am I misinterpreting the original post?

According to the manual, using bprecover with the -dhost option is supposed
to allow recovery of the database to an alternate host. This is a snippet
from the command manual.

bprecover
-dhost destination_host
Specifies the host to which the selected catalog is restored. Normally,
catalogs are restored to the host where the data originated (as displayed
with the -l option). The -d option makes it possible to restore the catalog
to another host.

Caution Use the dhost option with EXTREME caution, since it can overwrite
existing catalogs on the destination host. To permit recovery in case you
unintentionally overwrite the wrong catalogs, you can move existing catalogs
to a temporary directory on the destination host. The following NetBackup
client software must be installed on the destination host:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd and /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/tar Note Do not
specify -r all (or ALL) with -dhost when using this command. Either
explicitly specify an image (for example, -r 2) or use the interactive mode
(-r).
