Tim,
Thanks for the tips.  We will be moving to the same physical server.

Hmm, I wonder if I can shut down all networker services, and move /nsr to it's own disk and mount it at the same mount point...in order to have all the advantages you described...

I am looking into upgrading our 7.2.2 server to 7.4, and moving to
RHEL 4 from RHEL 3 in the process. I have tried reading the disaster
recovry guide 7.4 cover to cover, but I haven't been able to get the
big mental picture of the process.

Could someone explain in general the steps need to move host OS and
Networker server, while retaining client index database?

Are you actually *moving* to a different physical server, or are you going
to be upgrading/reinstalling the OS on the same hardware it currently
resides on? Depending on your answer, you might be able to avoid most or
all of the disaster recovery procedure.
