Hi All.

Why don't you just move the tape to the new server by bpmedia -movedb
command?

Regards,
Jim

FORCE_MEDIA_SERVER entry in bp.conf would be sufficient for the same
drives on another media server in the same SSO config.   By "newer and
cleaner" drives it sounds as if you're using a different storage unit so I'm
not sure what that would require.

The entry in bp.conf would be:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = backupserver restoreserver **Where backup
server is the one it was originally backed up and restoreserver is the one
you want to do the restore with).

Also after you set this you have to notify the daemon:

For Netbackup 5.1 (and as I recall 4.5):
Start bpadm
First menu choose:
        g) Global Configuration
Second menu choose:
        m)  Modify Configuration Parameters...
Last menu choose:
        d)  Notify Request Daemon of Changes
Then quit out of bpadm.

Had a quick question, I have a backup that was done on mediaserverA, I would
like to restore it from mediaserverB, attached to perhaps newer and
"cleaner" tape drives, how would I go about doing this? Do I need to move
images around, make a FORCE_MEDIA_SERVER entry in bp.conf, or?
