I've never had any success going from Unix to an NT platform - have been
told it's due to the difference between "little-endian" and "big-endian"
systems.  However, there was a post recently from someone who claimed that
it had worked for them going from NT to Unix (see thread "Backup Data
Migration ... " from August 2002).

What kind of error messages are you getting - broken pipe?  You *may* have
better luck if you name the target server the same as the old server.
