I didn't see any responses to this.  I would also be very curious to
know how people are tracking this kind of information.

Hello all,

=20

I was curious how people are tracking moves of filesystems. =20

=20

For example, let's say /export/home resides on serverA, then serverA is
decommissioned and replaced by serverB.

=20

Two years later, the new administrator assigned to backups has to
restore a file from /export/home, but isn't aware that it used to reside
on serverA and therefore doesn't see any backups listed because he/she
entered serverB as the client.

=20

So, the question is how are people tracking the moves....Excel
spreadsheets?

=20

Any info is appreciated.
