Subject: [Veritas-bu] renaming classes



hello all,

we are looking to rename all of our classes in order to fit a better
naming convention..

I know that once you just rename the classname netbackup will think that
it is a new class and will do 2 things bad:

a) it'll immediately kick off a new full backup
b) you can't restore older data using the new class name (which gets quite
confusing)

my question is this:  is there a way to change the class names in a way
that would not cause those two problems to occur?

I'm guessing I could go in and hack away at the db/images stuff and could
probably get netbackup to be convinced that nothing really changed, but I
figured I'd ask this group first to see if someone has a better idea..

Thanks!

Jon
