With regards to 


> 1) Bootstrap report listing bootstraps and tapes.


Can this be exported to a file rather than a Tape and then imported?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you say


> 2) Networker server version running at original site as well as server name 
> exactly as it appeared in production. 


Does it have to be FQDN? or will the computer name suffice?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What if you dont have

> 4) Same tape device as original. If LTOIII you can read on LTOIV. 


Do you mean the exact same hardware or will a different manufacture be OK?

When you say

Does the command you have given delete the Library? or will I need to do that?
