Replacing a nam 4.1 unit 2

[richtech]

I have been subcontracted to replace a nam 4.1; hard drive OK.
Can I back up the db and the sekur and upload to another unit of the same version, or is it better to reload from scratch?

I think you can reload the DB but the ports go with the S/N.

Does that mean I do not upload the sekur file?

The sekur file is tied to the serial number of the NAM, so you can't restore this file to a different NAM. Just replace the hard drive in the failed NAM and you can restore all backups.

OK sekure tied to the orig NAM. I am replacing the whole box with a "new" one. Back up old unit - restore to the new unit will work?

As long as it's the same release you should be able to restore the backup.

All went well. It was a V 4.1 NAM being replaced with a V 4.0
with same number of ports. Saved DB- reloaded DB in V4.0 no problems. Thanks for the help.
