I've often wondered about this;  is using export then import, without
including the filespaces, sufficient to get the db-constructs re-assigned to
the new node (ie, without having to move all the data)?  I've considered
trying this a few times, but the customer situation never came to fruition.

Alternatively, it is trivial to rename filespaces and nodes, so one could
use that approach; ie, for a node being retired, but want to keep some of
its filespace data available (for restore) by another "owning" node --
rename the node (to something similar to the new owner's identity, maybe
OtherNode-2), then re-establish its password under the new node name which
is only used for restore/retrieve, whatever.

Export and import.
You'll have to do some renaming tricks with the node names though.

Is there a way to transfer a filespace from one node to another other
than restoring it on the target node and backing it up again from there
before deleting it from the source node?
