I made the change suggested. I then rebooted the machine to make sure
the service was restarted correctly. Since I am only trying to recover
data from the tapes and am not concerned about normal operating concerns
I opted for the *@*. I made this change using the command line form in a
console terminal window as the gui does not think the user logged in has
administrative rights.
This did not solve the problem. I tried to export the host credentials
in the NW Administrator gui, but I get an error that indicating I do not
have administrative rights to make the change. I am not sure even
exporting these to a file will help solve the problem
Is there a command line option that will obtain the credentials from the
tape? Is it a correct assumption that I need to Authenticate with the
data stored on tape? Or is this an error that is associated with my new
server that needs to be configured?
Thanks,
Jim Carlson

Hello,
try Having the proper entry at "remote access" tab in client resource
configuration of the client you are recovering the data from.
Below is the extract from NetWorker help (at nsradmin prompt) which
describes the significance of the field.
"remote access: list of string (read-write, visible, registered) A list
of
remote users that are allowed to recover this client's files. If empty,
only
users logged into this machine are valid. Examples: sam@jupiter or
user=sam,host=jupiter (user sam on machine jupiter),
group=wheel,host=jupiter (any user in group wheel on host jupiter),
jupiter
or host=jupiter (any user on machine jupiter)."
You can also use *@* which removes all restrictions!
Regards
Shyam
