In regard to: [Networker] Server naming question, David Mingia said (at...:

We are about to change a server from one platform to another (both Intel...
just another box different model) and one OS to another (Win2000 to
Win2003).  We are going to keep the same computer name and the same IP
address. I was thinking that when I took the Networker 7.2.1 class we
learned that I could not create a second server with the same name as a
previous server I had been backing up because of index issues.

You keep saying server, but in this instance I think you mean client.
Although you're refreshing a system that may be a server for something
else, from NetWorker's perspective it's just a NetWorker client, right?  It's
not a replacement storage node or NetWorker server?

 Am I wrong?
Can i just bring one down install the client on the new one with same name
and just start backing it up?

Assuming that the system is just a client and that you're not running
7.3.x with the new authentication mechanism enabled, then yes, you can
do this.  You really should do a full backup as the first backup of the
refreshed client, though.
