Networker User Restore
Hello All,
I am relatively new to Networker and I am having some issues with a restore. I recently installed Networker 7.4.3 onto a windows 2000 server used for our internal wiki, the install went fine and I was able to connect to the networker server and perform an ad-hoc backup just fine, however when I try and restore from one of the other clients I get an error that no index was found or I need to be connected to the server as supervisor. I am able to restore only if I am logged onto the client and kick off a restore, but all of the other clients generate this error. How can I configure the client so I can do a file restore from any other client? All of the other clients can restore to one another. Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Chris Wardall

- Ok so i have not had this problem. Having said that. Are you redirecting thesave sets to the client B? and have you installed the Networker user on the Networker Server?
Typically i do my restores from one of 2 places. Either the Networker server or the Client. I have redirected the recovery to a UNC pathbefore and it works well. I first did this at the EMC Admin course in the EMC office in North Sydney Test Lab.
It shuld work if you have the correct perms. The main reason i doit from the client is i have to create a restore directory on the box other than the original location.
The only time i use System@ or client@ is if i am backing up a cluster but i am not saying that you dn't need this in your environment.

To restore from client B data of client A you must allow client B to do that (otherwise you are stealing data of client A). So you must in configuration of client A in remote access area add Administrator@clientA and SYSTEM@clientA. To manage all your clients from single machine additional steps might be required - check chapter caller Enabling directed recoveries in admin guide.
