Hi Niklas,
I just have an idea how you can solve it.
You run Export node and export all the archive data.
Now can you rename EXTPDB1 node to TDEPDB2 and then run import node with

Replacedefs=No
MERGEfilespaces=Yes

That mean all the data will be in TDEPDB2 and now can you rename the node back 
to EXTPDB1 and you will also have all the data that TDPEPDB2 has.

I have never try this before but it should work. We did a similar thing but not 
exact the same thing.

Thanks
Christian

Ämne: Move archivedata between nodes?

Hello

Is it possible to move archivedata between nodes?

I have some archives on node TDEPDB2 that I want to move to
node EXTPDB1 because the TDEPDB2 server will be removed.

I've looked at the export and move commands, but they doesn't seem
to allow data to be moves between nodes, only servers and storage pools
