How can I create a new client if a client with that same host name existed at some point in the past?

I added a new client (fred) using nwadmin. However, there was an old client named fred that was taken off the backups a long time ago. After creating the new client, I see that NetWorker assigned it the same client id as the old fred. Maybe no surprise, but this is now a new machine with the same host name, so I'd like it to have a different client id than the previous one, so when I look at save set recover, I won't see the save sets from before. How can I do this?

Thanks

George

Try this:

Shut down Networker
Go to /nsr/index on your server and rename the directory named fred
restart networker and create the new fred
