Re: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue

As far as I am aware, you cannot restore NDMP backups to non-NDMP devices and writing NDMP backups to different NDMP devices is hit or miss. I’ve run NDMP backups on several different NAS devices, NetApps (various versions on ONTAP), Sun Unified Storage Platform, StorageTek, OpenFiler and the best I have been able to do is to restore an NDMP backup to the same manufacturer of NAS device with a different model / software / firmware release.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NDMP restore issue

Hi ,

I have an issue and need to reply to customer ASAP.

master NB6.5.6 solaris8

server - solaris box NB6.5.6 (not an NDMP host)

we have been asked to restore NDMP backup to a mount point on a solaris server.
While restoring it throws below error :

Error bpbrm (pid=20089) cannot retrieve NDMP credentials for host B, error = 254
Error bpbrm (pid=20099) client restore EXIT STATUS 114: unimplemented error code 114

My question :

Is it possible to restore NDMP backup to a diff. servers rather than to NDMP hosts?

Is there way out by which we can achieve above objective (NDMP backup restore to non ndmp host)?

Regards

SAM
