Here is a back of napkin idea that may be worthwhile.
NBU upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0 and 7.0 to 7.1 were not very painful at all
in my experience. On of the new things you get in 7.1 I think is SLPs
that can duplicate images to a different master server.
You may be able to upgrade you 6.5 env to 7.1.0.4 and have a fresh clean
build of your new environment (May help to clean up some annoyng naming
conventions or policy names or configurationg that annoy you with your
existing config).
You could then find a way to get your images you want to migrate to the
new env into an SLP that duplicates to another master or otherwise copy
the images between masters.

Hi Team,
We have one netbackup master server which is on x86 windows 2003
running netbackup 6.5.6 with two tape libraries LTO2/LTO3 respectively.
We have procured a new mastter server which is on 064 windows 2008 R2
with netbackup 7.1.0.4 with EMC data domain DD890.
Now we have to migrate all the backups from old master server to the
new master server.
I have following questions
Is it possible to migrate netbackup from one hardware to another ? I
know the the netbackup master serve name has to be the same but can it
have a differnet IP ???
I was thinking first upgrading the exisisting server to 7.5 and
connect it to data domain and move all the backups to data domain
storage units and then migrate to new hardware. Is this the right
approach or is there a better approach.??
Please guide many of you might have upgraded from 6.5. Please through
ideas.
Anurag
