Re: [Networker] Creating a new instance of an older client?
2006-07-06 20:06:01
The old fred was never out there under /nsr/index. In other words, it
was removed from the client listing and /nsr/index a long , long time
ago. Now, when I create a new client with this same host name, NetWorker
just assigns it the same client id. Maybe it's pulling this out of the
media database? Must be. When I query the media database for fred and
ask it to report the clientid, it reports the same value that it
assigned to the new client. I've not backed up the new client yet, however.

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

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
Kind of a variation of the procedure for renaming a client and
*keeping* the old backups.
