How was this pull request tested?
Tested by a customer using ReaR (2.4 version in RHEL 8) with NetBackup 8.2
It was found by our customer that when attempting to restore from NetBackup, bprestore is unable to restore data from NetBackup server:
The fix is to copy the NetBackup PBX (vxpbx_exchanged) service to the rescue system and start it on boot before starting NetBackup. Additionally, it was needed to add the /usr/openv/tmp directory.
The problem was reported for NetBackup 8.2, but the service is apparently needed even in older versions of NetBackup (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100031908). There were fixes for previous NetBackup versions in ReaR reported by @rmetrich, so I don't know why the problem was not seen at that time.
