Hi,
1. I would upgrade to NBU 7.0 first in 2003.
2. Take a catalog backup.
3. Re-provision host with Windows 2008.
4. Install NetBackup 7.0 on 2008.
5. Perform catalog recovery.
6. Cycle services.
7. Everything should be preserved.
I've done similar things with Linux, RHEL3->RHEL5 and
Solaris 8/9 -> Solaris 10, but I have not done it on
Windows.
Justin.
