Client restrictions for directed recoveries
- The destination client in a directed recovery can be any NetWorker client subject to
these guidelines:
- The source and destination clients must be of the same platform (UNIX-to-UNIX
or Microsoft Windows-to-Microsoft Windows).
- The source and destination clients must use the same type of file system (for
example, UXFS-to-UXFS, NTFS-to-NTFS).
- The administering host must be a client of the NetWorker server. The
administering host is the host from which the graphical user interface is
displayed.
- If the administering client is neither the source nor the destination client, it need
not have the same platform and type of file system as the other clients.
- NetWorker servers and clients running Microsoft Windows must be in a
Microsoft Windows Domain (not a Workgroup), or the NetWorker server and the
destination client must have the same username and password.
- For NetWorker clients running Microsoft Windows XP Professional, the
NetWorker server and clients must be in a Microsoft Windows Domain,
regardless of the username and password.
- For a Windows destination client, Windows File and Print Sharing must be
enabled. For more information, refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation.
- Restrictions related to relocating non-ASCII directories on UNIX machines:
a. If the remote directory is an existing non-ASCII directory, the locale of the browsing session from which the directed recover is started must match the locale in which the remote directory was created.
b. If the remote directory does not exist, the relocation directory will be created on the remote machine¿s file system based on the locale of the browsing session.
If the restrictions are met you can use recover command line utility:
recover -c source_client_name -R destination_client_name
