Platform:  Win2K
Notes:  4mm DAT, no library, 15GB catalog, two clients, all UNIX backups-no
special databases, no archives

What:  Upgrade from 4.2 to 5.2 on a different machine with same disk and tape
configuration.

Is there a "tapeless" way to do this?  The new hardware is ready and in place,
the software will be installed.  All tape and disk devices and volumes are the
same.  I just want to move everything to the new 5.2 server.

Would it be easier to clone the 4.2 system and do an upgrade in place?  If so,
what would be the process for cloning a system?
