Hi Ron,

I ran into the situation where I delete a client and then had to do a file 
restore. 
Since the client didn't exist, I couldn't re-create it and Legato would not let 
me do the
restore. 

I think I ended up adding the old client name as an alias to another client.
You don't really need to delete the old client name unless you are running low 
on client connections.
Hope this helps.

Guy

All,

I have a couple of questions:

Over the last 3 years we have been backing up a number of systems 
(clients).  Recently we have decommissioned a couple of those systems.  
If I deleted the clients from the current Networker configuration, how 
hard will it be to restore files corresponding to those clients or will 
this not be possible?  Is it best just to "disable" those clients?

Also I have been only using 2 pools, the default pool and one other.  I 
know want to move to using 3 different pools.  If I make the changes to 
reflect the new pools, how difficult will it be to restore files that 
have been being backed up to the current polls.  What would be the best 
way to migrate to the use of the 3 new pools, but still be able to 
restore from the current tapes.

thanks
