yeah, this is stupid. it's just a weird GUI. I wish they would change it
to allow you to select the Policy type in an earlier window.
open the backup/restore GUI. click File, Specify NetBackup Machines.
Server tab should show the Master. Now click on Clients tab... just a
list of clients. this client should be selected as CURRENT. Now, close
that window.
Click Select For Restore to open the restore list of C:\, etc. (what
you're already seeing). With this window still open, go back and click
File, Specify NetBackup Machines. Now the "Clients" tab is a "Source
Clients/Policy Type" tab. Change the Policy Type to Exchange and click OK
and then you'll see your backups.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring MS-Exchange data from NetBackup
I have a Windows 2000 server running Exchange 5.5. I'm backing it up
with NetBackup 3.4 to a Solaris 8.0 server. The backups have been
running on this for a little while now; today I thought I'd check on
them and test the restore procedure (before I really need it). To my
surprise, the "Select for Restore" browser under the Windows NetBackup
client doesn't have any way to look at or select from the Exchange
backups I'm making. All it shows is the C: drive and registry backups
for the server.
By contrast, the "Select for Backup" browser for the client clearly
shows little icons for "Microsoft Exchange Server" and "Microsoft
Exchange Mailboxes". I can either interactively kick off a backup of
these from the GUI, or they're able to be scheduled from the master
server. In either case, the backups show up in the master's "Job
Monitor", and after several hours they complete successfully.
Both the client and my master server believe the backups are happening
correctly. So... what stupid thing am I overlooking regarding the
restoration of this data?
Thanks for any pointers.
-brian.
