This is not documented because it's not supported.  It requires internal
knowledge of the Netbackup data structures.  We've done it as part of a
Windows master to Unix master migration but this was back on 3.4 and it
took us multiple attempts to get it right.  It is most definitely not
for the faint at heart.
