Have taken a look at the Networker Procedure Generator?

Debbie Dunn/EMC has done a great job on this tool...

I have a NW 7.5.2 server, running Win 2003 and 32bit NW. We're going to
be 
re-formatting the entire server and installing Win2008 R2 instead, on
the 
same hardware and keeping the same server name and IP address. What I'd 
like to do is keep all the old NW history. Am I correct in thinking that

this would be pretty similar the same as a disaster recovery of a NW 
server? That is, I don't need to recover any programs or OS of the
server 
(we're OK with re-installing all that from scratch), I just want to 
recover the NW history.

So if we re-do the OS, and I install 64bit NW (hopefully NW 7.6 SP2, if
it 
comes out within the next couple weeks), and I keep the same server name

and IP address,  then I would really only need to do a "mmrecov" and a 
"nsrck -L7"? Then I'd have a clean new installation of NW, but with all
my 
old mm database, and all the old Client File Index history, for easy 
recovers.

Am I missing anything in this plan?

Thanks
