Assuming you move whatever way the media database and the indexes to the
new server you SHOULD NOT use the old name for the new server!!!
When using the same name for the new (Linux) server you will create a
problem in the backup server index directory and media data base.
Both the media data base and the index data base for the  backup server
will contain both "Windows" and "Unix" formatted names.
This will create a big mess in both backups and recoveries of the backup
server.

Subject: [Networker] Replace W2k NW server with Linux server

Hello,

we are considering to replace our Win2000 NW 7.1 Server with a Linux
box.
I'd like to hear from anyone who already did this, how was it done and
what are the pitfalls.

Is it feasible to it in this way:
- set up the Linux box (not yet connected to network and jukebox) with
same hostname and IP adress as the W2k server
- mmrecov a current bootstrap (via temporarily attached tape drive) to
the linux box
- on Linux box delete devices (\\.\tape<nn> won't work on Linux anyway)
- stop W2k Server and disconnect from network and jukebox
- connect Linux box to network and jukebox
- create devices
- delete and create jukebox necessary?
- settle licensing issues

thanks all,
Thomas
