Ensure that the client server list contains entries for the master server and any media servers that can be used during a backup or restore.

Examine the status or the progress log on the client for messages on why the restore failed. Also, check the All Log Entries report on the server.

Ensure that NetBackup is at the same version and patch level as the computer where the catalog image was created.

Ensure that the path where you restore the catalog is same as when it was backed up.

Ensure that sufficient disk space exists on the target system where the restore runs.

Ensure that the current master server host name matches the host name of the computer where the catalog image was created.

Check ownership and permission on directories where files are restored.

Check the NetBackup tar, admin, bptm, and bpbrm logs for additional failure information.

Correct the problems that you find and retry the restore.
