Check out the -O option of the savegrp command. You will need to add each of
your clients to the test group (no change to the save set field is needed)
the -O options tells NetWorker to backup the client indexes for all clients
attached to the test group and to create a new bootstrap report. The
reasoning behind this is so if you have problems with the move you will have
all of the client indexes and the most current bootstap available to you.

Subject: [Networker] Migrate Windows Networker Server to new Hardware

Tomorrow I will follow the disaster recovery guide to move my Networker
server to a server with the same hostname. But Task 1 - Step 4: mentions
putting an instance of each client in a group called TEST and do a full
backup of indexes of all clients and bootstrap. I have a number of clients.
Do I add each client and what should the save set be set to in order to get
the indexes backed up?  Has anyone done this?

You can add a disk device to the new server without labeling it - correct? I
didn't want to loose the data on the disk. Just re-create it in Networker.
There are disk devices with data on them that I can't stage off.  But I
should be able to recover from, correct?  

This should be fun........scared! [Rolling Eyes]
