>Hello everybody,

>I'm wondering if the following situation is possible. You have two systems
>A and B with the same OS (HP-UX 11.0 to be more specific). Suppose that
>system A crashes and than I mount a disk D (with a bunch of data) of the
>crashed system A on to the system B. So far so good.  Is it now possible at
>all to recover data (previously backed up  on disk D mounted on system A)
>to the disk D mounted on system B?  I guess you have to somehow rearrange
>information stored in the dbase of *SM.
>Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
