Hi,
I did it once
1 . create the old-client on the new server with same ID (so you can save them 
from now on).
2 . install one of the old device on your new server. 
3 . create a good list of your old media database, 
        
Volume,client,name,ssid,savetime,ssflags,fragflags,sumsize,mediafile,clientid  
etc...
        Which you can sort as you like .. volume.. client ...

>From then you can either
1. Scanner the old tape immediately.
2. Scanner the old tape when you have time.  
3. Scanner the tape only on request of restore (with -i so, your index will be 
filled).

I agree. Long and tedious but the only way.

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

serve 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.
