SOLVED.
Thanks everybody for the remarks and proposals.
I reinstalled NetWorker completely and configured the backups and HyperTrac
snapshots all over again and now it works.
Apparently the rename (or adding server to a domain) had a large impact on
the NetWorker Server index.
Now all of the saves are browsable and I can select them also in the
versions.
Regards
Steven
