We have the same environment.  You can do an alternate client restore using
the NT admin server for both NT and Unix machines.  However, when you
attempt to perform an alternate client restore from one Unix box to another,
the directory path for the destination gets screwed up by the NT admin
server which prepends a "C/" to the front of it.  We always use the master
server for doing these.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Performing alternate client restores from Windows
Admin GUI


Hello

Using NetBackup3.4.1DC, with a Unix Solaris 7 64bit master and media server
(separate machiens), with an NT machine installed with the Windows
Administration Client.

I attempted to do an alternate client restore, however the documentation
does not match up with what the documentation says. There is not a separates
'source client' and 'destination client' tab on the Specify NetBackup
Machines tab. I ended up using the Java GUI from the master server to
derform the restore (as I could not convince the Motif GUI that it could
find the files, even though it listed the backups I wanted to do the restore
from).

So at this point, my obvious question becomes, is it possible to do an
alternate client restore from the NT Administration GUI?

Thanks

Jason
