Ideally, you should restore your dbase from the same server that you back it up
from -- even if you restore to a new server. For example, say your dbase is on
hostA; Your backup server is serverX; and you want to restore that dbase to
hostB.
Then have client softwares (networker & oracle module) installed on hostA;
back up your dbase to serverX. Now go to your hostB, install client softwares;
From hostB, launch a recovery session with client hostA from server serverX.
A command line version of that would be:
recover -s serverX -c hostA
If you back up from hostA and must recover from tape device attached to hostB,
then mount the tape to hostB, run NetWorker's inventory and scanner against
the
tape drive to recognize and extract index info from the tape. Then you can
recover the dbase. Commands for that would be similar to the following:
nsrjb -d /dev/rmt/tape1
scanner -d /dev/rmt/tape1
recover -c hostA
