As far as I know, you can not restore a tape created on a Solaris machine on
a Windows system, even if it were running NetBackup. The tape format
differs between UNIX and Windows. I don't believe the tar32 program on
Windows can read the tar format created by NBU on a UNIX server.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] restoring NT boxes without NetBackup
Hello everyone,
I'm using NetBackup Datacenter 3,4 GA with a solaris Master Server and a
L700 library with 9840 Tape Drives at my company's location. One of our
customer wants to be able to restore a NT4 client at its backup location
with a DLT III drive. There's a standalone drive on our master which is also
a DLT III. The NetBackup License we have is only for the site so we won't be
able to use it. Even if we did, would we have to install a master/media on
the backup site in order to restore (we don't use the DR files so we would
have to install the system)?
Anyway, how do you read a tape created with NetBackup from a windows system
not running NetBackup ?
Does the tar32 program on a windows client help me do the trick if I bring
it on a separate CD ?
Would I have to duplicate the tapes to my standalone using NetBackup ?
Would I be able to read my tape if I restore (NT4 client) on a Unix server
and then tar (with a standard tar) everything back to my DLT drive ?
Help will be greatly appreciated,
Jerome
