Restore from FlashBackup fails with error 2817 – Netbackup – transport mode

Another reason the restore from FlashBackup fails with error 2817 is wrong settings in the “Transport modes” section (second screen of the restore wizard).  Default settings are #1 and #2 – “san: Use san to move virtual disk data” and “nbdssl: Encrypt the virtual disk data for over-the-network transfers”.  In my environment the setting that works is #4: “nbd: Do not encrypt the virtual disk data for the over-the network trans..” (while having other 2 unchecked).

Restore from FlashBackup fails with error 2817 - Netbackup

Client name is case sensitive in Netbackup. When specifying the client in "Backup, Archive and Restore" the name has to match the name in the client list of the backup policy (ie. serverA is not equal to SERVERA). Failure to do so is another reason of error 2817 while restoring the file backed up by FlashBackup policy. More on this: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH188002
