We have a MS SQL 2005 cluster, and we use the SQL Module to back it up. 
This weekend, we're going to be upgrading (in-place) from SQL 2005 to SQL 
2008. Do we need to do anything with the Networker SQL Module, such as 
re-installing it?

I think: no. The actual cluster is keeping the same DNS name, and same IP 
address. So I don't think I need to re-install anything. The scheduled 
backup jobs (which specify saveset of MSSQL:) should continue to Just 
Work, as the client info (DNS, IP) will continue to be what Networker 
currently thinks they are.

Correct?

Current SQL Module is v5.2.2.23 (64bit), and the Networker Client is 
v7.6.2.3 (64 bit). Client OS is Win 2008 R2 Enterprise.
