Allowing Redirected Restores
The Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface contains options for restoring files that were backed up by other clients. The operation is called a redirected restore.
A client can restore files belonging to other clients only with the necessary configuration on the NetBackup master server. Create the following directory on the master server:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames
Add files to it as explained in this section. To undo the changes, remove the altnames directory and its files.
 Caution
The /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames directory can present a potential breach of security if users permitted to select and restore files from other clients also have permission to locally create the files found in the backup.
