Just to clarify, this is our second Windows 2003 x86 to Windows 2008 x64 NBU 6.5.6 upgrade via cold catalog backup. We preformed our first last December in the same manner with much success. There is a possibility that the cold backup was bad, and we'd like to test a hot catalog backup as well. Unfortunately we're bound by significant time and hardware constraints, so troubleshooting the cold catalog backup we have is less painful than getting a 2nd outage for another cold catalog or finding an LTO drive to test with.
