FORCE_MEDIA_SERVER entry in bp.conf would be sufficient for the same
drives on another media server in the same SSO config.   By "newer and
cleaner" drives it sounds as if you're using a different storage unit so
I'm not sure what that would require.

The entry in bp.conf would be:
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = backupserver restoreserver  
**Where backup server is the one it was originally backed up and
restoreserver is the one you want to do the restore with).

Also after you set this you have to notify the daemon:

For Netbackup 5.1 (and as I recall 4.5):
Start bpadm
First menu choose:
        g) Global Configuration
Second menu choose:
        m)  Modify Configuration Parameters...
Last menu choose:
        d)  Notify Request Daemon of Changes
Then quit out of bpadm.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Way to restore data using alternative media
server?

Had a quick question, I have a backup that was done on mediaserverA, I
would like to restore it from mediaserverB, attached to perhaps newer
and "cleaner" tape drives, how would I go about doing this? Do I need
to move images around, make a FORCE_MEDIA_SERVER entry in bp.conf, or?
