Daryl,

We want to do the exact same thing.  Directly afterwards we are going to 
upgrade to NBU 6.0.  However we will use different
hostnames for the new Windows boxes.

Our local NetBackup support guy is coming over this Friday to perform the test 
in our testlab.  But to my knowledge/experience just
recovering a catalog from a Solaris/UNIX Master to a Windows Master is not 
possible due to the differences in filesystem.

But I will let you know the outcome of the migration test end of this week.

Best regards,

Bart Wallebroek
Backup Administrator
