Directed recover requirements

The following table summarizes the requirements for each host in a directed recover session.

Table 1. General recover requirements
Host	Requirements
Destination	Ensure that the destination host: Is the same platform as the source host, for example, Linux to Linux, AIX to AIX, or Windows to Windows. Uses the same file system as the source host, for example, XFS to XFS, UFS to UFS, or NTFS to NTFS. Contains an entry for the administering host in the servers file. The NetWorker Security Configuration Guide provides more information about client-tasking rights and how to modify the servers file. Is configured to accept directed recoveries from a remote host. Ensure that the Disable Directed Recover attribute is set to the default value No, in the NSRLA database. Editing a client NSRLA database describes how to edit the NSRLA database. Has the required access rights to receive data. If you run the nsrlogin command on the administering host to create an authenticated recover session, ensure that the External Roles attribute of a user group with Remote Access All Clients privileges contains one of the following entries: User DN for the authenticated user Group DN for a group that contains the authenticated user If you do not run the nsrlogin command on the administering host to create an authenticated session, the root user or the Administrator user on the destination host must appear in one of the following configurations: A member of a NetWorker User Group with Remote Access All Clients privileges. Add an entry to the User attributes for the Root or Admin account in this format. Added to the Remote Access attribute of the source host. For example: The source client is mars. The destination client, venus, is a Windows host. The Remote Access attribute for the client mars contains: Administrator@venus
Source	Ensure that the source host: Is the same platform as the destination host, for example, Linux to Linux, AIX to AIX, or Windows to Windows. Uses the same file system as the destination host, for example, XFS to XFS, UFS to UFS, or NTFS to NTFS. Has the required access rights to enable the administering host to browse the data. If you run nsrlogin on the administering host to create an authenticated recover session, ensure that the Remote access attribute on the source host contains one of the following entries: User DN for the authenticated user Group DN for a group that contains the authenticated user If you do not perform a nsrlogin on the administering host to create an authenticated session, ensure that Remote access attribute on the source host contains the root user or the Administrator user of the administering host. For example: The source client is mars and the administering client is venus. The Administrator account on venus starts the recover program. The value in the Remote Access attribute for the client mars is: Administrator@venus
Administering	Ensure that the administering host: Is a client of the NetWorker server that contains the backup information. The administering client can be a different platform from the source and destination clients. Has the required access rights to perform the recover operation. If you run the nsrlogin command on the administering host to create an authenticated recover session, ensure that the External Roles attribute of the Operators, the Application Administrators, the Database Administrators, or the Database Operators user group contains one of the following entries: User DN for the authenticated user Group DN for a group that contains the authenticated user If you do not perform a nsrlogin on the administering host to create an authenticated session, ensure that Users attribute of the Operators, the Application Administrators, the Database Administrators, or the Database Operators user group contains the root user or the Administrator user of the administering host in the Users attribute. NOTE:If you do not use the Operators, the Application Administrators, the Database Administrators, or the Database Operators user group, ensure that you add the required user information to a user group that has the following privileges: Remote Access All Clients Operate NetWorker Monitor NetWorker Operate Devices and Jukeboxes Backup Local Data Recover Local Data Recover Remote Data You must have operator privileges in the Operators user group to perform a selective file restore from a Microsoft Windows deduplication backup. Microsoft provides complete documentation for working with the Windows deduplication functionality.
