Hi all,

Further to my previous unanswered question I am now thinking of the possible
scenarios to upgrade.
I will change the Master Server PC as well as upgrading from 3.4.1 to 4.5
(Win2000 still applies).

So, I really need to consider how upgrade will be performed. So far I have
two scenarios:

1) Install NB 4.5 to the new PC and then perform a catalog restore from 3.4
(supposing I took a catalog backup from 3.4 first).
    Do a cat_convert to convert the catalog to binary format.
   Hope everything works

2) Install NB3.4.1 to the new PC and then perform a catalog restore from the
'old' 3.4.
    Upgrade to NB4.5
    Do a cat_convert to convert the catalog.
    Hope everything works...

Since some of you have already been through this, can someone share his
wisdom?
Are there any complications to be aware of?


I performed a test upgrade (scenario #2 ), but using a standalone tape drive
instead of a robotic one. Everything seemed ok (well, except for the catalog
restore,
since there was no robotic devices on the test machine....) and I
encountered no problems.

I wish everything run smoothly when I perform the REAL upgrade.


Thank you in advance

Kat
