It seems to me the problem with this type of copying is that you end up losing
the information about which system the backup was originally made from and
perhaps the directory structure, ownership, etc.

Basically they would be performing the typical "recover data from NB
tapes", then "backing up the data using Networker". If you have the
capacity and resources, it may be time consuming, but then its a
necessary evil if your not planning on keeping NB around at all...

I'll look into some of the companies that take care of this type of deal
then. Thanks for the reply.

want to keep our existing netbackup environment for that long, so we
have to "convert" those tapes to networker. Does anyone have any
pointers on how to get this done, whether it be through an outside
company or is there a way to do this through networker (something other
than restoring with netbackup and rebacking it up with networker)?
There's no way of doing it within NetWorker. There are some companies
that do this sort of data transfer. Such companies are normally
rated/authorised for legally signing off against the data that has been
recovered then written back out to tape that it was "really" backed up
on the original date (if this is necessary for your environment/for your
data).
(I'm only directly aware of AU/NZ services - the standard practice
though is a per tape charge.)

Preston.
