We have a 6.5.x master server with a direct-attached Dell library and some LTO4 
in a remote location.

I want to migrate all images from this netbackup domain into a 7.1 netbackup 
domain at our corporate site. I DO NOT want to employ any method that involves 
a bpimport of each piece of media. My ultimate goal is to turn the remote 
master into a media server, decom the library, and put a data domain out there 
that will replicate back to corporate.

I've done some"undocumented/unsupported" moves of images between 5.1 
environments a long time ago but forget exactly what I did.

At a high-level I was hoping to do something along these lines:

a) Using vault on the remote master server, duplicate the long retention images 
from tape to either a disk staging unit or a local data domain. (Yes I know 
this is pretty much the same as a bpimport of all images into the corporate 7.1 
domain, but I do not want to do this for reasons I won't go into here)
b) "move" these images to a disk staging unit or the data domain at the 
corporate site
c) somehow "scan" these images into the corporate master server
d) let shorter retention images expire on the old netbackup domain and then 
decom and rebuild as a media server, decom the library, implement a data domain 
which will then deploy ost and optimized deduped replication to the corporate 
data domain

Basically I want to end up with these new images showing up w/o any physical 
media affiliation as if they were originally backed up to a disk staging unit 
and/or ost appliance.
