Did you run the nbpushdata command after adding the 5.1 media server?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore failure (NetBackup 6.0 Windows)


While trying to restore data from media backed-up through NetBackup 5.1 from
backup server NetBackup 6.0 I was initially getting error "cannot connect on
socket(25)". By adding server the 5.1 server in the current 6.0 server as
additional backup server I am able to connect now. However, the restore is
not working. 

I am trying to restore from a tape backed-up through NetBackup 5.1 and
restore it through NetBackup 6.0 client. The restore is to another 5.1
client. Even after 4 hours the job is still 'Active' and it does not give
any error. It only says mounting A00354 and connected; connect time:
00:00:04. No restore is happening. I have put all the tapes (6 in all) as
pointed out by restore. In the 'Device Monitor' (Windows GUI) it shows as 1
Pending Request.

The clients and server are all Windows-based.

My questions are:

1) Can we restore NetBackup 5.1 backed-up data through NetBackup 6.0 client
and server? Was my adding the old backup server (as done above) correct?
2) How to monitor and know the status of a restore? Specially when restore
is from 6 tapes and takes longer time.

Would appreciate a solution to the above problem. Thanks in advance.
