Running netbackup 3.2ga on solaris 8

I have a media and netbackup backup server on the same machine and connected
to a sun L1000 tape unit.

Right I have CLIENTA CLIENTB and SERVER for example.

I am trying to restore files onto CLIENTB which was backed up by the backup
server from CLIENTA

Using the documentation I have added
/usr/openv/netbackup/altnames/No.Restrictions to the server, and have also
changed bp.conf on CLIENTB to say CLIENT_NAME CLIENTA

When I run the restore from the gui I do the configuration to browse on
CLIENTA and restore CLIENTB. I select my image and select a file or 2 from
the list. Do a Specify alternate directory put the information in and kick
off the restore.

It mounts the right tape etc but then sites there with :-

14:42:39 (5398.001) INF - Beginning restore from server SERVER to client
CLIENTB.

I have enabled VERBOSE on the bp.conf on the SERVER, and created
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bprd

This just seems to sit there saying :-

14:42:39 [21380] <2> send_bpbrm_msg: (pid 21384) CONTINUE RESTORE



Anyone have any ideas?

Documentation mentions peer names and the like but I cant see it being
different from the machines hostname.
The only difference maybe is the hosts file on the SERVER has an ip address
for CLIENTA and CLIENTB, and the host file on each client has a different IP
address assigned to the name, but the ip address the SERVER knows about
assigned to another name .eg CLIENTA-ge0

I dont think this should have any bearing though, as the info on netbackup
all uses CLIENTA and the bp.conf file CLIENT_NAME is CLIENTA and all backups
are working.

Help would be greatly appreciated
