This can be achieved w/o doing a "catalog recovery". You can copy/ftp all your policies and images over. You can move the databases over as well. I recently did a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit to Solaris 10 SPARC migration this way. (In fact a catalog recovery was not an option for me due to the architecture change) The library move is trivial. Move all media into a "standalone" state (not sure if this step is needed although i think its in the documentation - I have done several library moves w/o doing this in the past). I would then do a nbemmcmd -deletealldevices on the source system before moving over the EMM database. Once netbackup is up and running on the new system, attach the library and just configure it as a new library and re-inventory.
This procedure requires professional services unless you really understand the internals of netbackup. Support will not give you help with doing this. (at least this is what I was told) Since your going from windows to windows this might not be a requirement in your case. Only thing I suggest is keep the hostname the same, especially if your doing the catalog recovery approach. Also catalog recovery might seem like a daunting task at first glance but its actually pretty reliable. I've done several in my time. As long as your catalog backup competed with a status 0 your good to go. (unless you have media failure) I would make sure and note the media ID's of your last few catalog backups to be safe. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by chuck.car...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
