This is an answer to an old thread about this problem:
when I try to restore files from a backup the NetBackup GUI reported "There are no files matching the specified criteria."
I’m having the same problem. I’ve been working with Netbackup for 10 years. I know 100% for sure this is not user error on my part. This happens to me when I’m trying to restore from a backup of an extremely
large number of files. When I go to restore them, it looks to me like the console simply times out. Like the original poster, I’m running netbackup on a Solaris master, though I’m running a newer version: 7.1.0.3. Back in the day when catalog files were
stored in .Z format, I could uncompress big ones manually before trying to run a restore from a very large backup, but I’m not aware of any trick I can use on the current catalog format. Anyone got any ideas? I’m going to look at the command line and see
if it can help me...
Thanks in advance,
Sarah
