I ran "cat_convert" on my Windows 2000 master server and ended up, several 
hours later, restoring the catalog files from backup after they were corrupted. 
 Based on that initial experience, I didn't try it again and instead waited for 
the old ones to just roll off.  If you do try it, don't update the files in 
place - copy the converted files to a new location then maybe try a few before 
you overlay the whole batch.

I don't think NetBackup has to be stopped.

Hello all......Thanks to all who responded yesterday to my questions.  I have 2
final questions.

1.  cat_convert.  Is it worth it?  How long should I expect the conversion to
take?  If I do it do I need to have Netbackup stopped totally?

2.  I know that the client install from the server uses RSH, anyone have a SSH
version?

Thanks
Paul
