Networker - Restore Client with exclude

Hello,

I have got a script for restore my client networker.

1- I put few tapes in my robot.

2- The script restore all clients present on my tapes

3- It's works with Windows client (NTFS) but i have an error when the script find a Unix client (maybe ext2 - ext3 - ext4) on my tapes.

(For your information, i have this error because i restore client ext2/3/4 on a filesystem NTFS)

How i can escape errors ? Can you help me for find a command for excluding UNIX client ?

Thanks for your help !

    Next time you may wish to share what error you get in case you wish someone to help

    There is one part which strikes.. you said:

    (For your information, i have this error because i restore client ext2/3/4 on a filesystem NTFS)

    Restoring UNIX/Linux data onto NTFS is not supported - you need to do that onto UNIX or Linux file system.

    Cross platform restore is no supported in NetWorker. You would have to give more information list the error and the contents of the script to get a solution out of us.

    thanks for your answer.

    I know restore ext2/3/4 on NTFS it's impossible.

    And yes, i said that "(For your information, i have this error because i restore client ext2/3/4 on a filesystem NTFS)" but i want exclude with a command a list of client unix.


    I know my unix client, but i don't know how exclude.

    I can't give to you my error because i have no message just a black console with no information.

    thanks

    Do you at least know the command that is being used to do the restore ? Also, what kind of script are you using ? What is the OS that you running this script on ? IS it possible for you to publish your script here ?

    So you have a script which covers the recovery of both client types: Windows and UNIX/Linux. This is strange enough.

    May i suggest that you modify your script and comment/remove the appropriate lines.

    The general structure of the 'recover' command is always the same.

    But if you say script that makes me thinking ...

    You said: "The script restore all clients present on my tapes" - Why all clients which you ever have backed up? - Why to recover multiple clients at all?

    It is more than strange that multiple clients need a recovery at the same time. And even more strange that this scenario has been prepared by creating a script. Or is this a kind of a proactive 'copy' process?

    So far you are the only one who knows the script ... and the commands which are executed within.

    So the very first thing i would do is trying to isolate the problem. Narrow it down to the area or even to the specific client where it fails.

    Mike, as bingo suggested, group clients per OS and run restore.  I see no point of using script for restore nor did I hear any explanation why do you do it in the first place.  Actually, from everything you said before, I think we miss quite a big part to understand what and why you are doing the way you are doing.

    For your information, i do a first try with a tape. This tape contain only windows client and the restore was successfully.

    When i read on my sscript, i have only a generic command for networker. I think this command is for windows/unix ?

    Yes the command is generic for Windows and UNIX. if you provide the script that you are using we can assist you in getting it right. There is no option to exclude a client using a switch with the recover command, the only way to get rid of this issue is to control what you feed the recover command.
