Speaking solely for myself, there isn't really a lot of information here to go on.

How were the backups made?

Are they RMAN backups, or something else?

How was the restore done?

Have you examined restore logs?

etc...

Just getting ready to engage Symantec support on this one but thought I would see if anyone else has had this issue before.  We run NetBackup 6.5.4 and just completed our DR test and had many issues.  The one that concerns us most is when we selected all required datasets and executed the restore the job would run and seem to indicate all was fine.  We would get a 0 exit code and the amount recovered would seem to be about right from NetBackup point of view.  When the users went to validate the server they would indicate that significant amounts of data would be missing randomly throughout the recovery.  Sometimes rerunning the job would return the data, sometimes not.  All seemed to be going well at the start of our test when we were recovering windows SQL data but once we began restoring UNIX Oracle data it seemed to all fall apart. ( Sounds like it should not matter but that was the observation.)  At home we never experience anything like this and have always been able to
 successfully restore all data on the first pass.
Any insight or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
