I deleted the old client; added the new client, with the old clientID; NW 
told me that doing that would rename the client from old name to new name; 
re-apply if this is what you want. Since it was, that's what I did. :-)

And it does seem to keep the old history - when I do a 

mminfo -s admnman004 -avot -q client=dctrlts003 -r 
client,name,volume,savetime(18)

I get all the old history, from when the server had the old name.

dctrlts003 E:\                            1127155591     7/19/2010 07:40 
PM
dctrlts003 C:\                            1127155591     7/19/2010 07:40 
PM

But I can't seem to go tell the GUI recover that I want to go back in 
time. It's like the client file indexes don't exist. If I tell it to do a 
saveset recover, then it does show me savesets going back as far as the 
above example, and they are listed as browsable.

The /nsr/index entry for the old name is 2GB in size (I keep a lot of 
history for this client; it's my mail server, the one client I am asked 
most frequently to recover from).

So it seems I am only half way there ...

I may try your suggestion (after saving both index directories). Maybe I 
will open a case, just to be sure I am doing it right. I probably should 
have done that prior to the change, but I thought for sure I knew what I 
was doing .. :-)
