Hi everyone,
We are demoting a backup server to become a storage node of a larger server, 
and I can't find documentation about this.
My goal is to transfer the client indices and corresponding media entries. I 
have data that is kept for a year, so even though it's only 12 clients, they 
are large servers and I have almost 600 tapes.
I'm planning on using nsrck -L7 but I don't want to move all the media before I 
know it works. (these are DB servers that can't live without cleaning their log 
areas with a backup every few hours).
scanner -i [-c client] was my other alternative, but do I really have to read 
all 600 tapes...?The only index I don't care about is the old server's, so that 
one is going to go to a new client id, but all the rest will have to be 
imported.
Has anybody tried this (and had success!)? Thanks in advance!
Aure
