You could try to restore from a different slave server approach.

1) go to the master and edit the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file and add
the line
        FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = fromhost tohost
ie.     FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = <original> <current>

2) in the Netbackup Administrator go to File and select 
        Re-Read Request Daemon Configuration

3) when done make sure to change back the bp.conf file to its original self
and do step 2 again.

PS. Remember to mount the tapes on the new drive.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore

I have a current client which used to be a media manager.  I am attempting
to restore a directory
from this client.  However since this is now a client I get a error on the
restore stating ltid is
not running.  As this server no longer has drives connected to it and has
been running as a client
for a few months now ltid is no longer required to run there.  My problem is
how do I restore files
which were backed up when it was a media manager.

Any thoughts on pointing me in the right direction would help immensely.
