Thanks Thierry,
Have you done this with version 7.0+ before.
John
I've done this with a 6.1.4 version and not with a 7.x
But I think that it's exactly the same ...
Thierry.

Simple question: Can one move from a UNIX(Solaris) NetWorker
Server over to Windows(Win2k or Win2k3) ?
Is there an official document for doing this?
No it's not supported :-)
Has anyone done it ?
Yep.
I've replaced hardware and installed the same OS type and version
before without problems.
But I've never moved OS's.
What about the indexes. I have them spread across 4 filesystems
including the default one relative to the installation tree. That I
can deal with manually if necessary.
It's depend about what is the Unix OS
The major trouble ( I think ) is that the index and media are stored
with major Unix system in Big Indian, and in Little Indian
on Windows.
But the bootstrap doesn't have this trouble ...
1 So first, you have to backup all your index and bootstrap
( savegrp -O -l full )
2. Do a disaster recovery on a Linux Box ( mmrecov )
and restore all the index.
3. Export the disk via samba
3. Copy the exported data from the linux box to Windows.
You have to do a disaster recovery on the Linux
because Files System are compatible between Unix
and Linux, and Linux are on Pcbox with little indian
processor.
It's the more simple way i've found
I really hope that you are a NetWorker Specialist ...
I believe I have ~25GB of index (350 clients and retention of
3Months and Browse of 2 months).
thanks - John
