Viewing and Editing the XBP Configuration

Use the xbp_config dialog (File > Configuration) to change the master 
server, the client to browse for restores, the client to restore to, and 
the policy type of the images to browse.

If there is more than one master server that performs backups, archives,
and restores, ensure that you are connected to the correct one.  If you
do not know which master server to use, ask your NetBackup administrator.  
Normally, you will not have to switch master servers unless, for some 
reason, the administrator has temporarily moved the NetBackup backups 
for example, because of a problem on the original master server).

Only a root user can change the client to restore to (that is, can 
redirect a restore to another client).

* Click OK to use the  values.

or

* Click Cancel to cancel changes so the previous values are still used.

Server
	This is the current master server to which NetBackup sends backup 
	and archive requests and also the server that has the backup you 
	can browse for files to restore to your client. The master server 
	is the first line listed under the SERVER option in the 
	/usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file on the client.  See the NetBackup 
	System Administrator's Guide for UNIX, Volume I for more information 
	on the bp.conf file.

	When you start the X-Windows interface, this box shows the default
	master server configured for your client. You can change the name of
	the master server. If you specify an invalid name or your client does
	not belong to a configured policy on that server, you get an error
	message.

Client to browse for restores
	Client whose backed up files you can currently browse. The 
	administrator on the master server can change this name to that 
	of another client and can grant you permission to do the same by 
	making the necessary changes to the /usr/openv/netbackup/altnames 
	file on the master server. 

	When you start the X-Windows interface, this box shows the name 
	of the client on which you are running as specified by the 
	CLIENT_NAME parameter in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file 
	on the client.

	See the NetBackup System Administrator's Guide for UNIX, Volume I 
	for more information on the altnames file and the bp.conf file.

Client to restore to
	When you start the X-Windows interface, this field shows the name 
	of the client on which you are running.

	The administrator running the X-Windows interface on the master 
	server can change this name in order to direct files to another 
	client. This ability is not available to other users.

Policy type of images to browse
	Type of client to which you are restoring files when you redirect 
	a restore to a different client.

	The client type must match that in Client to restore to box and the
	Client to browse for restores box. You cannot restore clients from 
	one type to another.
