In regard to: [Networker] New client with old name?, George Sinclair said...:

An old RH Linux client was decommissioned. A new RH Linux client now exists with the same host name and IP address. The same disks have been moved to it, so it has the same file systems as before. The client software has been installed but not yet started. We would like to continue using the same

CFI as before. Is it a simple matter of removing the old NSR client
resource(s), starting the client software on the new box and then
re-creating the NSR client resource with the same clientid (before
applying changes) as before? Is that all?

If you want to use the same client indexes, why do any of that?  Why not
just schedule an out-of-band full backup?  You could limit the full to
just the filesystems that would have changed (the OS volumes, I'm
guessing), or you could back up everything.

Either way, you already have the client resource, why remove it just to
recreate it?
