I created a new client named 'dummy' but gave this the same client id as

Now, when I query the media database for fred, it no longer shows up.
When I query it for dummy, all the entries for what was fred now show
'dummy' as the client name.
So what did you expect to happen? Did you expect to be able to have two
clients called fred and restore from both of them? How could that work?
If you want to potentially recover from the old fred then you're going
to need to keep a reference to it in the media database, either as fred
(which means that it will clash with the new fred) or as something else,
such as dummy. You can of course rename dummy to a more meaningful name
by repeating the procedure you already did.
If you don't want to recover from the old fred, then just remove all the
old save sets from the media db and the problems is gone.
How can I change this back?
Just the same way as you renamed it in the first place.
I just want to have a new fred with a different client id than the old
fred, but I still want the old fred to show up in the media database
with its old client id and not dummy. Why can't NetWorker just make this
easy by giving us a feature to make renaming easier! Sheesh!
As they say - garbage in garbage out. They can't design a product that
