easiest way would be to use the FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER directive in
bp.conf... that way once the master's stu is back online, you can remove that
entry...

or you could modify the nbu database using bpimage and bpmedia...

for more info on all of those functions, check the nbu sysadm guide, chapter 7,
methods for performing server independent restore...
