Just from reading this mailing list and assuming NetBackup is just used 
for relatively short-term backups and not long-term archiving,  I'd look 
very hard at starting at ground zero (no data) on the new master 
server!    If the old hardware could be kept for a few (weeks?), the 
client might be thankful for the cost savings and simplicity.  Just a 
thought.

Holiday cheers, wayne
