I recently inherited a NetWorker infrastructure connected to a 40-slot tape 
library.  The initial setup was done approximately 4-5 months ago... and I have 
been having a lot of weird errors and other issues.  The technicians from EMC 
have made so many changes at this point, and things are still not working 
properly.  I am thinking about clearing the slate.  However, I do have backup 
data on 6-7 tapes.  I want to do a reinstall of the NetWorker Server software 
and reconfigure the system.  I have new tapes to replace the old ones... I am 
thinking about just taking those out and putting them aside.  I will be 
changing a few client names and the name of the NetWorker server itself.  What 
is the procedure for taking down a NetWorker server, while allow for the off 
chance that I may need to recover from the old tapes?  Is there some 
information I should be taking down prior to the reinstall?  Should I consider 
a complete reformat and build the OS again?
