View the status of a redirected restore
A redirected restore may not produce a progress log if the restoring server has no access to write the log files to the requesting server. The name of the requesting server must appear in the server list for the server that performs the restore. (A progress log is an entry on the Details tab for a job in the NetBackup web UI.)
Consider the following example. server1 requests a redirected restore from server2. To write a log to server1, server1 must appear in the servers list on server2.
