Hi Hrvoje,

I never done this before, but i would do this:
- Create new configuration /nsr/res, clients with old client-id, pool etc
- down networker and copy over the /nsr/mm and /nsr/index/<client>
- run index and media database checking (nsrck -L6 and nsrim -X)
--> pham.. you have the media database and index back....
then you can easily create script to remove entries related to Backup
Server A from media database


cheers - han

Anyone did that so far?  Here is the environment
and plan...

Existing:
- backup server A with attached jukebox jA
- storage node B with attached jukebox jB

Now, customer would like to keep A as server
and have B as new backup server.  New server
B would need to be aware of the backups done
on tapes inside jB.

So, the only I see it possible is following
approach:
- create clients that were using storage node
  B on new backup server B (by entering name
  and same client id as it is on A)
- now that we have clients with same client id,
  we should scan those tapes

I skipped the part of uninstall of storage node
and install of server as that should not be a
problem ;)

Anyone done that yet?  Any hints?

Cheers,
Hrvoje Crvelin
