Here's a question ... I have 2 instances of Networker - a Network Edition, 
and a Business Edition. (The Business Edition is for a remote site; it's 
easier than making it a storage node, because sometimes the connectivity 
to that site goes out, and without connectivity, a storage node won't run 
a job).

I have the same client, defined on both servers (but with different client 
IDs). 

Now, if I were to take an old tape, created on the Business Edition and 
want to scan in it's contents to my Network Edition (so I could perform a 
restore from that tape here, using the Network Edition and it's hardware 
resources), would I be able to scan that tape? The recover will be 
redirected to a folder here, so it wouldn't need to go back to it's 
original location.

Would I have to create a new client, with the client ID on the tape, 
before I could scan the file entries from the tape, into the mm database 
on the Network Edition? OR .. can I just do a "scanner -c 
client-name-that-already-exists-in-Network-Edition"?
(or can I / should I change the clientID in the Network Edition to match 
the clientID on the tape, so that I just scan as I would normally, to 
repopulate a mm database from tape?)

Any advice welcome
