Look up "directed restore" in the administrator's guide. The way I do
directed restores is to log onto the machine on which I want the data to
be restored, then I do something along the lines of:

  recover -c old-client-name -s NSR-server-name

See the man page for the "recover" utility for details.

You also need to open up the NetWorker Administrator GUI and then open up
the old client's client resource, and add the userid@hostname for the new
client in order to authorize the new client to restore files that belong
to the old client.
