All of this information is located at /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class. The "class directory" can be tarred up and moved to another server. How to:

1) On the old server, stop netbackup, then

cd /usr/openv/netbackup/db tar cvpf /tmp/class.tar class cd /tmp (binary ftp your tar file to the new server)

2) On the new server, do the following:

stop netbackup cd /usr/openv/netbackup/db mv class class.last tar xvpf /tmp/class.tar restart netbackup

Boom! You are in business.
