Am I misinterpreting the original post?

According to the manual, using bprecover with the -dhost option is
supposed to allow recovery of the database to an alternate host. This is
a snippet from the command manual.

bprecover
-dhost destination_host
Specifies the host to which the selected catalog is restored. Normally,
catalogs are restored to the host where the data originated (as
displayed
with the -l option). The -d option makes it possible to restore the
catalog to another host.

Caution Use the dhost option with EXTREME caution, since it can
overwrite existing
catalogs on the destination host. To permit recovery in case you
unintentionally
overwrite the wrong catalogs, you can move existing catalogs to a
temporary
directory on the destination host.
The following NetBackup client software must be installed on the
destination host:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd
and
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/tar
Note Do not specify -r all (or ALL) with -dhost when using this command.
Either
explicitly specify an image (for example, -r 2) or use the interactive
mode (-r).
