Problem

Is it possible to restore a Netbackup Master server using BMR?

 

Solution

Restoration of a NetBackup Master server is NOT supported with BMR, whether it be standalone or clustered.   The Master server should be restored via OS re-installation and catalog recovery process.  If it is a clustered master and the passive nodes need to be recovered, OS re-installation and NetBackup server software re-installation should occur to rejoin the node to the cluster.

Per the NetBackup BMR Administrators guide clients can only be the following:

'A client may also be a server for other applications or data, a NetBackup media server, or a BMR boot server.'
