652.0. "3 Networker Servers --> 1 Networker Server" by COPCLU::KARSTEN (Traveller in AlphaSpace) Mon May 05 1997 07:59

At the moment one of my customers has 3 different
Digital UNIX Networker servers.
Each server do the backup for a number of clients.  

Now he wants reconfigure his installation. And he want
to have only one Networker server.

Is it possible to move the indexes from one Networker
server to another ?

Regards and thanks,

You can move indexes from one machine to another, but all of the
indexes and configuration must be moved at one time.  There is
no facility for combining indexes from several different servers
into one set of indexes. 

You have two choices in this case:

1. Install the new server and start doing backups on that, but leave
the old servers up until the retention period has passed for 
the last tape used on those machines.

2. Use scanner to build up new indexes with old tapes, on the new server.
However, keep in mind that scanned in indexes have a retention period
of forever.
