As have we - were successful back on NBU 3.4 going from Windows to Solaris. We changed host names while we were at it. If you want to bring your database with you, then yes, you will need to use Symantec services to do the migration... otherwise they will not support you... or so they told me. If you are able to successfully complete your upgrade, Symantec will support you after that. What they can't do is support you during the migration itself because there are a LOT of ways it can (and will) go wrong and these breakages are typically going to be well beyond 1st or 2nd level tech support. This is a very complex migration and I don't recall seeing any postings from anybody who has completed a cross-platform migration since NBU 6.x was released (which introduced EMM). Unless you have a very strong technical ability to hack binary files and a fairly good knowledge of NetBackup internals, I would recommend that you not do this without paying for Symantec (or 3rd party) professional services. It's doable but it's HARD. .../Ed Ed Wilts, RHCE, BCFP, BCSD, SCSP, SCSE [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [cid:[email protected]]Linkedin<http://www.linkedin.com/in/ewilts>
