If you want to make changes to the operating system or the Backup software,
configure the new server exactly like the original, using the same version of the
operating system and Backup software. After configuring the new server, make sure
the system is operational, perform a couple of successful backups, and then update
or upgrade the operating system or the Backup software, one at a time.
To move Backup to a new server, use the same steps for recovering the operating
system and Backup software, including the indexes and configuration files. Follow
the instructions in these sections:
*"System and Backup Software Recovery" on page 19
*"How to Prepare for Backup Software Recovery" on page 21
*"How to Recover Backup Indexes and Configuration Files" on page 23
*"How to Rename the Configuration Files Directory" on page 29
*"How to Complete the Recovery of the Backup Server Data" on page 30
However, you should be aware of the following requirements for configuring and
registering the software:
*Use the same hostnamefor the new Backup server. You must use the same
hostname because the server indexes were created under the original Backup
server name.
*Make sure the original server name is listed as an alias for the server in the Client
window of the nwadminprogram.
*If the new server has a different host ID, you need to reregister the Backup
software.
After you move the Backup server to another system, you must recover the resource
database (nsr.resfile) to ensure that you carry over the same resource and
attribute settings to the new Backup server.
If the new server has a different host ID, you have 15 days to reregister the software
with Sun. Refer to the Solstice Backup 5.1 Installation and Release Notes.
