[Veritas-bu] Catalog Migration versus Import
2007-07-03 10:06:51
I preformed a clean install of 6.0MP4 at a data center, and left their
old 5.1 MP4 environment behind for restore quests. Its been a year, and
we want to decommission the old 5.1 master. Most backups have expired,
but there are 16 or so tapes, with long retention data that frequently
needs to be restored. My options are
1 - Upgrade the 5.1 machine to 6.0 and then migrate what's left of the
catalog to the new 6.0 master. Duplicate old images to new media.
2 - Attach the old library to the new master, import the 16 DLT media,
and then duplicate the images to LTO.
Either way its going to be a pain. Any suggestions?

PS: Option #3 - Don't archive to tape data that frequently needs to be
restored isn't an option /sigh
