Great! I will be migrating from Linux to Solaris.

Those .f files under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images and 
/usr/openv/volmgr/database are binary files. Are they compatible between 
Linux and Solaris? When you do the migratoin, did you just copy them 
over from AIX (or HPUX) to Linux and NetBackup can use them without any 
tweaks?

Thanks,

Rongsheng
