Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 29

An administrator took media server mediaA offline for maintenance and set up a new media server mediaB with access to the previously backed up data. When restores are performed for data that was backed up by mediaA, the restores fail.
Which setting must the administrator modify to allow successful restores?

Answer options

• A. from the master server, run bpimage to change the name of the media server from mediaA to mediaB
• B. set Enable unrestricted media sharing for all media servers in the master server host properties in the Media section
• C. in the Bar console, change the Server to use for backup and restores setting to mediaB
• D. verify both media servers are set up in the master server host properties in the Restore Failover section

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because running bpimage allows the administrator to change the media server name, which is necessary for restoring data that was previously backed up by mediaA. Option B is incorrect because enabling unrestricted media sharing does not resolve the identity issue between mediaA and mediaB. Option C is wrong as changing the server in the Bar console does not address the underlying problem with the media server name. Option D is not valid since verifying setup does not directly fix the name mismatch affecting the restore process.
