No worries..I'm not offended.
The policy type is Standard within the GUI but I am not sure about the
binaries. I installed the Linux client, which I downloaded from
Symantec a couple years ago, and basically left them alone. I rarely
needed to perform restores on this system, so I would just restore the
file to the Windows desktop and transfer it with a CD. Recently though,
our developers have made a series of "mistakes" and I am starting to
revisit this issue. My lack of knowledge on NBU installed on Unix/Linux
is clearly hindering things. Ask all the simplistic questions you need,
because it will get me going in the right direction.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Windows Server and Linux Clients
You did check the policy type? Are you sure you have the correct
binaries installed on the Linux box?
In the backup and recovery GUI what policy type do you specify?
It is a Linux file your trying to restore to the Linux box.
Forgive the simplistic questions but I'm just trying to eliminate the
obvious. J
It is probably something very simple, but I don't have a similar
environment here to test it. L

Patrick,
I just tried to restore a small file (old virus scan log) and I received
this error in the restore status window: can't create file:
usr:\local\pathname\to\file (WIN32 3:The system cannot find the path
specified.)

I guess the first thing I'd check is if the policy type is standard. As
you've only had windows in the past this might have been missed.
Otherwise there is no difference doing restores to alternate OSes than
the master. I have done windows to NIX, NIX to windows, etc.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Windows Server and Linux Clients
We have a development system that is currently being backed up with a
Windows master/media server and approximately 10 Linux clients. I have
been unable to successfully restore directly from the Windows server to
the Linux clients. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions on how to
restore directly between the two? I have never installed a Linux NBU
master/media server (because we only had a Windows version of NBU until
now). Are NBU master/media servers on Linux equivalent to the Windows
version (GUI, command-line commands, etc.)?
The system is currently running a Windows Server 2003 master/media
server running NBU 7.0 and all the clients, at this point, are RedHat
Linux.
