[Veritas-bu] Two Netbackup questions

1) If you do not backup server2 at all, you could create a symbolic link from 
server1 so that when you did a search on server2 it would find the backups for 
server1.

2) tpreq -m media_id [-a (r/w)] [-d density] [-p poolname] [-f] filename
   rsh <client> dump 0f - /mnt/volume_name > filename
   tpunmount [-f] filename [-force]

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Two Netbackup questions


 
I've got two questions which I'm trying to find some info on. I
understand this might not be supported but .... 

1) is it possible within netbackup to backup volumes on one server but
catalog them as belonging to another server entirely ? Example I have a
server called server1 drives F;G;H and I. I install a netbackup windows
client on this server and backup in the normal way. However I want
netbackup to catalog it as belonging to server2. Should I ever wish to
restore this data is will be show as originating from server2. 

2) is it possible to backup data via RSH from a client with no netbackup
client software installed ? So here's my theory. So on the media server
i can run a 

rsh <client> dump 0f - /mnt/volume_name > /tmp/test.dump 

this gives me a unix dump file on the media server called test.dump. 

What I want to do is something similar but get netbackup to write the
data to tape ie not create a local file. My understanding would be that
the remote dump process writes to the STDOUT then the netbackup job
would us it's STDIN as the input ( datastream ) and write this data to
tape. 


Thanks in advance.
