John,

Are you migrating from the same type of OS to another?  If so we have done a
lot of them here.  Let me know if that is the case.  If not well that is
shaky territory.

Good-day,

We recently transferred a NW 6.1.3 server from one physical host to another
(with a new hostname).

When we did the following steps it worked fine

1) Copied the /res directory  and /index directories from old to new

2) Transferred the media DB using savegrp -o on the old system and mmrecov
on the new.

We could browse clients for restores.  The new server had been created as a
client, and the old server data was still accesible as a client.

However when we did the following :-

1) Started NW as a new install on new (no /res, /index or media DB)

2) Transferred the media DB using savegrp -o on the old system and mmrecov
on the new (did not use the recovered nsr.res)

3) Copied the /index directory from the old to the new.

4) Created all the clients on new to have exactly the same client IDs as the
clients on old.

The clients would not "connect" to the client file indexes for  restores.

It seems that there is a "link" between the original nsr.res and the client
file indexes, which is more than simply the client IDs.

Can anyone comment on this ?

thanks
