We just migrated/moved our Networker server to a new host via a DR
restore.  Along the way I tried different things (sneak in a 7.1.3 from
7.1.2 upgrade, change a few partition names/mount points, drop in a few
symlinks.)  None of these worked successfully for me.  In order for me
to get a good, solid recover of my system I had to create the same
partitions mounted in the same place with the same Networker version.
This was on a Linux box - I'm sure Windows would be as picky or more.
I'm with Davina: get your system online as it was, and work on the
upgrade later.
