I agree. Long and tedious but the only way.

serve

Hi Rovin,

We cant do the server migration. We have a old networker server having few 
critical clients running on it. Customer wants it to decommission.
We need to move those clients to already existing networker server (having 300+ 
clients already running on it) with there existing data. So will not be able to 
overwrite the media database.

I also got the confirmation from our Asia pacific expert, scan of the all the 
tapes is only option to perform this task.

Thanks

How about following the NetWorker Server Migration ?  You will all the data 
that you wanted and that too without much complications.

The problem is the media index. The only way to add existing but unknown save 
sets is to scan the backup media. Of course, nobody wants to do this.

So the easiest way would simply to keep the old server for recoveries. 
Otherwise the task could keep you busy for a while.
