He was logged into the Master Server. The attempt was to restore a single
file to a client. The restore was to the same client, but it was the issue
over the 3rd TAB that I had a query over.
 
2 Accounts can see this tab, one being mine. If someone else logs on with
the same rights as myself, perform the same process, they do not see the 3rd
TAB that states "Destination Clients".
 
Its not the end of the world, but it would be nice to know why I can see it,
another account can see it, yet no one else can.
 
And the account used was a Domain Admin account!
 
As a test, I logged into the machine with my account, launch the Admin
Console, chose Backup, Archive, Restore, selected FILE / Specify NetBackup
Machines & Policy Type and a small Window appears. The 3 tabs I see are
"Servers", "Source Clients / Policy Type" and finally "Destination Clients".
 
Now, logging into the same master server, with a Domain Admin account,
perform the same steps as above, I get the same small window, however the
difference being is the present of just 2 tabs labelled "Servers" and
"Clients / Policy Type". Thats it !
 
So ... I am just trying to work out why my 2 accounts show a difference.....
and I cannot quite understand why !

Most likely the reason that your admin was unable to chose a destination
client was because he was logged into the client vs. a master or media
server.  

By default NetBackup will not allow clients to restore information to other
clients (that's a security measure - you wouldn't want just anyone to have
the ability to restore anything anywhere).

If an admin logs into a client system, unless the client is specified a in
the server list, it will never be authorized to run restores of anything but
it's own data.  

There is a section in the Admin Guide about setting up exceptions for this
rule.  On Unix the file is "No.restrictions" - I think it has a similar
name/fuction on windows (just check the index of the windows guide for that
file name...)

Now that will limit users to the ability of restoring other machines data to
itself, but will not allow that machine to restore to anything but the local
client.

Short story - if you want your admin to have rights to restore anywhere -
have him log into an administrative account on the master server.

The only other reason I have ever seen that tab grayed out was if there was
a reverse hostname lookup issue to the machine starting the interface.
