I'm planning on upgrading my Win NW 7.5.2 server (and 7 storage nodes) to 
NW 7.6.2. I remember the last couple times I upgraded, I just ran the 
upgrade - I did not uninstall first, which is the recommended method by 
the Networker Procedure Generator. So my question is: if I uninstall 
Networker, won't it remove all my history? I'd really prefer not to have 
to do a "mmrecov" and "nsrck -L7". So how can I keep all my clients, media 
history, etc? 

At one of my remote sites that uses the Workgroup Edition of NW, I made a 
copy of the /nsr, /mm and /res folders and just copied them back after the 
upgrade. However, I also remember having issues with enabler codes not 
being properly recognized. (that may have been something unique to that 
installation, however).

So: when I upgrade this weekend, do I need to keep a copy of /mm and /res 
around, and just copy back after it's done? Or is there a better 
(hopefully easier :-)) way?
