Matthew,
If you lost index and media db, it's because :
1) the media database has been restored under /var/nsr/mm. Move it back
to
/nsr/mm or to any other location being sure it's accessible from /nsr/mm
2) you should run "nsrck -l 7" to recover indexes from last tape.
HTH,
Thierry

Hi JR,
What a coincidence !!
We have just migrated our NetWorker system from a Solaris server to an
HPUX
server.
We had all sorts of fun & games with our tech support company before
they
finally managed to get a definitive statement from Legato which said
that
this operation was not supported. Great.
The tech support guys, however, came up with the following:
> Procedure

> * From the command line using a new tape if possible, create a final

for

> * Start the services on the HP server.
> * Place the final bootstrap backup manually into the device created.

> appropriate responses : mmrecov
> * Once completed, stop the NetWorker services.
> * In the /nsr directory, move the res directory to res.old, index to
> index.old and mm to mm.old.
> * In the /nsr directory move the res.R to res.
> * Please note on bringing up NetWorker you will have no volumes

The most important point in all this is the paths *MUST* be the same.
If your /nsr directory is a symlink to filesystem /flibble on the
Solaris
box, you will need to create a filesystem /flibble on your HP box and
re-
create the links. MMINFO really is that fussy.
This procedure effectively migrates your resources file - i.e. all your
clients, schedules, etc.
IT DOES NOT MIGRATE THE MEDIA DBASE OR CLIENT INDEXES !!
Good luck.
