1.Alternate restore permission, go to /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames (on the master server) and create a file called the same as the destination server, type in the name of the source server
Here is a tech note about alternate file restore - The principle is the same for databases.
2: As root on the server you are restoring to, do : "bplist -C {host you are restoring from} -t 17-R -l -s {date before last backup} / " . This should return file list, and we know altnames permission work. If not check altnames again. bplist is a little picky about it arguments - You have been warned :-))
3: go to /oracle/AD2/{ora_version}/dbs/ and open initAD2.utl and edit the client field and set it to the server you are restoring from (save and exit)
4: go to /oracle/AD2 and create a bp.conf (group dba must have read permission). set the client field to the source server - save and exit.
5: restart restore,if it still doesn't work, try doing the bplist now as oraAD2 and post the result in this thread

The Backup Archive and Restore (BAR) GUI on the alternate client is unable to browse images for a redirected restore
Exact Error Message Error - client is not validated to perform the requested operation
Details:
By default a NetBackup client is only allowed to browse and restore backup images for itself. The error message is displayed when attempting to browse images for other clients, unless the master server is configured to grant the requesting client access to the images for the source client. This restriction does not apply to the master server which can browse and restore images for any client.
Follow these steps on the master server to grant permission for the alternate client to access images other than it's own.
1. Create a folder <Install path>\NetBackup\db\altnames. The files that grant permissions will be created in this folder and must not have any file extensions such as '.txt'.
2. To grant all clients permission to browse and restore the images of all other clients, create a file named "No.Restrictions".
3. To grant one requesting client (altclient) permission to browse and restore images from another source client (srcclient), create a file with the same name as the requesting client and place the name of the source client into the file. E.g. echo srcclient > altclient
Follow these steps on the alternate client to browse and restore the images from the source client.
4. Open the Backup Archive and Restore GUI.
5. Click File | Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type
6. Change the Source client for restore to the original client that performed the backup.
7. Select the correct Policy type and then click OK
8. Click on Select for restore and continue with the restore
