Because its still has the clientID inbedded in the DB. Is the client server 
name going to be exactly the same? What is the difference if you see the old 
indexes? TO change the CLIENT id is to run the following mminfo command for the 
client.

Mminfo -r"clientid" -q"client=clientname"

Once you have the unique clientid copy the clientid to notepad or write it 
down. Delete the original client. In your hosts file create a dummy client. See 
below for an example. The server does not have to exist.

Dummy 10.10.10.10

When you create this dummy client paste in the clientid from the original 
client.

Now recreate your client again from scratch and it will be a new client with no 
leftover indexes.

Subject: [Networker] Client Removal

How do I remove a client and all of it's indexes.
What I am trying to accomplish is change a client which was a traditional 
networker client to a VM VCB client.

It seems that any traditional client that I backed up previously will not 
backup using VCB.

This is what I want to do.
1. Remove the client and it's index
2. Add the client and configure for VCB.

Even after removing the client and readding I still see the old backup info if 
I go into Recover.
