Sure - at least on UNIX/Linux.   Just do your script around the
bprestore command.

For example we use this for doing data refreshes from a backup run on
one server to a development database on another one:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprestore -R <change script> -L restorelog -C
<client that backed it up> -D <client to restore to> -S <master server>
-s MM/DD/YY hh:mm -e MM/DD/YY hh:mm -f <list of files to restore>

The -s specifies the date/time the backup was started and the -e
specifies the end of the range you want to search.

The -f specifies a separate file in which you specify which items you
wish to restore (e.g. we do a backup that includes data and binaries but
in this list we only put in the selections that would be for data as we
don't do binary refreshes with this process).   

The -R specifies a separate file that gives alternate paths for
selections.  e.g. original backup directories shown in the earlier list
might be /database/prod1 and /database/prod2.   We would equate
/database/prod1 with /database/dev1 then /database/prod2 with
/database/dev2 so it would use the dev paths as the alternate paths for
restore.

We also set the bp.conf to do FORCE_MEDIA_RESTORE from the -C client to
the -D client as both are media servers in our environment.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Script Restores?


Is it possible to script restore jobs? I have about 20 9840 tapes
containing about 100 jobs on a NB 5.1 system that I need to restore and
then copy the data over to a new location to be backed up in NB 6 to
LTO3. Doing it manually is taking forever since I have to do one job at
a time. Any help is appreciated, I don't want to be doing this for the
next month straight.
