Let me explain my problem / confusion a little more.  When I do my raw
backups, the policy points directly to the disk device
(/dev/rdsk/c*t*d*) in the Backup Selection area.  There are no
filesystems or mount points anywhere.  For a non "raw" restore, I
specify a directory in the "Browse directory:" field in the Restore gui
and find what I want to restore from that point.  With a raw restore
there are no directories to browse.  All I know is the device I backed
up, the date backed up, the policy that did the backup and the client.
How do I specify what I want to restore?  Selecting the "Raw Partition
Backups" pull down doesn't present me with any other options on the
restore screen.  Obviously I'm missing something but I don't see it.

Hi=20

=20

If you can use the gui to browse, you should be able to restore.

I found a couple of TechNotes:

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/246449.htm

Unable to perform alternate path restore of a raw partition backup.

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/238501.htm

Browsing for a restore image is producing an error that the server does
not contain any images for the client.=20

Good luck!

        All..

        My original e-mail got stepped on by someone replying with
another question in it, so I changed my subject and will ask my question
again, here goes..

        Our environment is HP-UX 11.11, Netbackup 5.1 MP3 backing up
mostly HP unix with some Sun and Windows backups.  I am doing a raw
backup on one of the Sun servers and need to test the restore.  I  can't
find any info on the steps for a raw restore, searched Symantics site
and got lost, looked in the archives for this mailing list and came up
with nothing.  Looked in the System Administrator's Guide and found very
little.  Can anyone point me to any Unix raw partition restore examples?
My backup policy consists of 87 /dev/rdsk/c**t**d* entries.  Can the
restore be done via the gui?  I know there is a "Raw Partition Backups"
under the Restore Type pull down.  But I'm not sure what to do after
that.  I looked at the "bprestore" command and do not see anything
referring to a raw restore. =20

        Any help or direction will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
