In regard to: Re: [Networker] Moving client to a different Networker...:


You should probably instead consider

    savegrp -l full GROUP

Followed by a scanner of that tape.  Whether or not you also then run
savegrp -O GROUP doesn't matter -- if you run scanner -i on a tape
containing full backups of your clients, it will (slowly) build the
indexes from the savesets.  If you're going to use -i with scanner, you
don't need to have the index savesets on tape.

Just so I am following - he still has to create the clients on the new
server, right?

Correct.

And keep the same client IDs as the old server? That way,
the "scanner -i" knows how to associate the savesets it is seeing on the
tape, to a client?

Correct.
