Yes they are identical.

When you restore to your test box, be sure that the storage group and the
mailbox store is named exactly how it is on the production box (Case
sensitive).

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) TAR -

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?
