Usually all you need to do is modify your bp.conf file (Unix client.. otherwise its the Registry in Windows) to point to which master server you're using. So there isn't an "automated" way to make it work. What is your goal? - Original Message - From: "NBU" To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.

You'll need to specify your question with much more detail than you've provided before anyone could possibly answer it. In general, however, although it is possible for a given NetBackup client to believe that various hosts are valid servers, only the first one listed in bp.conf (or in the Wind

As I said, the only hitch would be that if you were to use bplist/bprestore (or the Backup, Archive, and Restore GUI) on the client in question, you would have to explicitly switch the master server to specify the old one in bp.conf / the registry. Server-directed backups and restores will work

That's true. I should say that every stream must have a valid path in it. I get around this, sometimes, by adding a file to the stream that's always there - even if the other files are not. /etc/password works well for unix boxes - not sure what Windows should be... -Original Message-
