hello netbackup gurus,

We are re-architecting our current environment from 4.5FP5 to 5.1mp6. We want to migrate our current4.5 catalog to 5.1mp6 and will be deploying new server platform. I really need some advise pros/cons if it will be better to keep our current catalog on the current environment netbackup environment or start from scratch/fresh catalog. We are using AIT3 on our current infrastructure and will be using LT03 on the new architecture. I also would like to know if there will be a problem restoring files if we retire our current netbackup environment. Pls advise.

Thanks,
Jaq
 
You will not be able to just copy a 4.5 DB to a 5.1 server, you must upgrade the 4.5 server and move the DB.

There are a few mediaDB and globDB changes in the upgrade.

How big is the original DB ?

Will you be changing the master server hostname ?

If a request for a restore came in do you have the time to modify the SERVER = back to the original master server ?

Do you want the AIT3 library attached to the new environment ?
