Can you upgrade the old SD to 13.0.4? This would enable you to use the
old SD with the new director, so restore from the old SD would still be
possible. This is probably the easiest way to access data from both old
and new SD.
I believe that you can use multiple SD with a single director, though I
have not done this so cannot tell you how to do it.
You can. It's not difficult to set up.
Worst case, you can copy the old volumes to the new system, and use some
combination of bls/bscan/bextract to restore the data, either adding the
old volume data to the catalog using bscan, or simply performing a
manual restore using bls/bextract.
What I would do in your place here is copy a test volume from the old SD
to the new, and see whether you can bscan it in and then perform a test
restore from it. If you can do that, then you don't need to set up a
second SD, as long as you have sufficient space for those volumes. I
don't recall offhand how many versions back old volumes are spec'd to
remain readable.
