Re: [Networker] Conversion of networker across UNIX variants

what about moving to a windows system or move from windows to unix.

I did it once with a test backup server and it "worked", but on the solaris 
server I saw messages containing recover.exe (coming from the old windows) but 
however the recovers worked.

but finally we started frop scratch on the new solaris backup server.

You can even bring your mm and index if the byte-ordering is the same on the 
machines... Also not supported though.

I have moved an Alpha installation to a Linux (x86) this way.
