In regard to: [Networker] Need to confirm steps to upgrade to 6.1.4, George...:

I don't know if you have "Match barcode labels" set, but if you *don't*,
the standard bootstrap report and `mminfo -B' leave out one critical
bit of information: the barcode.  You'll want to use a custom mminfo
report that includes barcode, if you don't "match barcode labels".

>3. On primary server, tar off a copy of /nsr/res just for save keeping.

For complete safety, this should be done after NetWorker is down.  If
it's idle you should be fine, but since you're going to take NetWorker
down anyway, you might as well do this after it's down.

I wouldn't, but it doesn't really make much difference.

Overall, looks good.
