Backup Central

I can't make this restore work - and it's possible that it can't be done. But here goes.

Our SAN was originally presented as a mapped drive on a Windows server. So we had MS-WINDOWS policy types for backing up content. Now we have a new SAN with NDMP backup accelerator.

Is there a way to successfully redirect my restores to the new NDMP appliance? I have a feeling that it can't be done. NBU 7.0.1 running on RHEL4.

Just create a temporary mount from a windows media server
and perform the restore.

Good Luck,
Ken

You will probably need to setup the nb_client service on a windows
server used to perform the restore to use a domain account that is
granted Restore permission on the NAS filesystem and Full access to the
share, then you can redirect the restore to a UNC path onto the NAS
location.

I thought of this, but in my mind it seems to defeat the purpose of purchasing an NDMP backup accelerator with fiber-channel connectivity to the SAN.

Only the first restore to lay the data down should require this
effort. After that time you should be using NDMP for the backups
in which case all subsequent restores should be direct via NDMP.
