Unfortunatly I am new to the unix gig, the path that was used automatically was
export:\home\smurphy\plsbackup.txt (I was talking to a tech and tried changing
the backslashes to slashes thinking that the unix was not interpreting them
correctly)but still got the same error.

I went even as far as leaving out the "export:" just used
/export/home/smurphy/plsbackup.txt but the server said it could not find the
spceified file.

I don't know how to initate the unix restore command or what files to modify so
the client can do this. any help would be appriciated.

Have you tried doing a client initiated restore yet?
(/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp is the curses based version) What path are you
specifying for the restore? Check everything again....

On a Unix client, the text based tool to kick off a restore is
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp (you will need to be root to run it)
Select Restore (r) then Restore files from backups (or archives) as
appropriate). When you get to this set of menus, change the path to
something at the top of the filesystem like /export. Make sure that the rest
of the info (source & destination client, master server, bla bla) is
correct. Then do an S (for select files), this will give you a low-rent way
to hack thru the directory tree to find the file you want (I for zoom in
actually selects the directory, so if you did an I on the home directory in
/export you would now be in /export/home). It's not the easiest thing to
use, but it works pretty well. After you selected your file(s) for restore,
hit O (for OK) and then I back at the main restore menu (for initiate
restore). That's it.
