It fails at the beginning of the restore.

Yes both master/media/client are the same - 6.0 MP4.

I will double checked dns, and it looks good. I tried it using a host
file as well - same error occurrs at the same time.
All files exist, and the boxes are checked to be overwritten.

Any other thoughts?

Does it fail at the beginning of the restore or the middle?

Are client and server version the same?  I had a "known issue" similar
to this trying to restore from a 6.0 MP4 Master to a 5.1 MP6 client.  In
the end Veritas was little help and I just upgraded to 6.0 MP4 clients.

Double check (as usual) DNS Lookup (We're not "accidentally" writing to
production are we?  I'd be 100% sure with HOST files just to rule this
out.)  How about reverse DNS, for Master, Media and Client?! Does the
database location exist?  I.E. if the database pointing to G:\SG1 does
G:\SG1 Exist?  Yadda yadda, check box for overwrite etc...

Enviroment: Win2k3 Master - 6.0MP4/ Exchange 2003 

I am working on doing some DR documentation and am receiving an error
when I attempt to restore one of our information back to a test exchange
server.

10:07:49.970 [5436.6072] <2> bpbrm write_msg_to_progress_file: (8.001)

The test exchange server is named identically to the server in
production (we are in a lab enviroment). The results from the bpclntcmd
come back correct.
The netbackup master server was restored from a catalog backup, and the
buffer setttings are identical. We are simply attempting to overwrite a
SG - we are not using a recovery storage group.
The databases have been marked that can be overwritten.

Any thoughts?
