Of course there is no way. The clientid is the way Networker identify the
client, not by its fqdn or anything else. But when you create a new client,
you can edit the clientid and put the one you want. This is described in the
disaster recovery procedure for the networker server. There is also a
procedure to import data from another networker server. I would advice to
create a ghost client for recovery purpose .

Kind regards

Yes, I know. I wanted to know if there was some way to change the client ID
of the client definition in NetWorker, not on the tape.

That's what I wanted to know, yes. So there's no way to edit a client ID in
NetWorker; I have to delete and re-create.
