Most likely the reason that your admin was unable to chose a destination client 
was because he was logged into the client vs. a master or media server.  

By default NetBackup will not allow clients to restore information to other 
clients (that's a security measure - you wouldn't want just anyone to have the 
ability to restore anything anywhere).

If an admin logs into a client system, unless the client is specified a in the 
server list, it will never be authorized to run restores of anything but it's 
own data.  

There is a section in the Admin Guide about setting up exceptions for this 
rule.  On Unix the file is "No.restrictions" - I think it has a similar 
name/fuction on windows (just check the index of the windows guide for that 
file name...)

Now that will limit users to the ability of restoring other machines data to 
itself, but will not allow that machine to restore to anything but the local 
client.

Short story - if you want your admin to have rights to restore anywhere - have 
him log into an administrative account on the master server.

The only other reason I have ever seen that tab grayed out was if there was a 
reverse hostname lookup issue to the machine starting the interface.
