I've only just got on to toasters, so sorry if this is a bit late.

I was present at a demo of NetBackup last week at which we got the guy doing the demo to restore an NDMP backup to a new directory. I don't remember where the option was, but he just specified a new path to restore to.

We've also been doing this with BudTool for ages.

I've been told that NetBackup can only restore NDMP dumps in place, too -- not to an alternate directory, for example (I haven't verified that with the vendor).

QuickRestore 2.6 can restore an NDMP backup to an alternate *root* path, if I understand the documentation correctly. If you backup /depot/src as a single set, and you want to restore just /depot/src/utilities/billing, you can put that into /otherdir/utilities/billing, but not /otherdir/billing (i.e., the directory pathname beneath the root of the backup must be preserved). A quick call to Workstation Solutions should clear that up, or I can dig out the manual when I'm back at the office on Monday. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@risc.org) "Though this be madness, yet there is method in't"
