2. Stop the NetBackup request daemon (bprd) and NetBackup database manager
daemon (bpdbm).
◆ Stop bprd by using the Terminate Request Daemon command on the bpadm
Special Actions menu (or xbpadm File menu).
◆ Stop bpdbm by executing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -terminate
3. Stop the Media Manager device daemon (ltid) and Media Manager volume daemon
(vmd).
◆ Stop ltid with the following command:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/stopltid
◆ Stop vmd by executing /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmctrldbm -t (or use
Terminate Media Manager volume Daemon command on the xvmadm File menu).
4. On the NetBackup server where the drive attaches, execute the bprecover command
to recover the required files and directories. Specify the raw-device path for the drive
where you inserted the media in step 1.
