Unable to restore files from a NetVault Client using nvrestore (4043757)

Unable to restore files from a NetVault Client using nvrestore

The CLI command nvrestore to list and create restore jobs will display a blinking cursor when ran from a NetVault Client. The normal behaviors include listing the restore jobs for the specified client, displaying the Job Id assigned to the new restore job, or indicating that there is a problem with the command as input.

As restoration jobs are tasks commonly executed on the NetVault Server, when ran from a NetVault Client or from another server, it is required to specify which server will be carrying out the command.

When running the nvrestore command, add the -targetserver option to specify which NetVault Server should carry out the command. The optional switch is not listed when displaying the help of the command nor included on the CLI Reference Guide. This omission is corrected on subsequent versions of NetVault.

Example: >nvrestore -list -plugin "File System" -targetserver NVServer
