Combine Unix and Windows master servers
Hi List,
For political reasons, my company had implemented two complete installations
of NBU Enterprise. One on Unix and then one on Windows. Now that times
have changed, we are looking to combine the two systems. Both are running
v6.0MP4 and I think that it would be possible to combine them into one master
server capacity-wise. How feasible is it combine them into one?
Thanks
Paul

Re: Combine Unix and Windows master servers
I don't see any reason. I run Solaris/SPARC NBU 6.0 and it's backing up both
Win and Unix. Just use various combinations of bpplinfo, bpsched, bpplnew,
bpclient, etc and craft some script to "export/import" your Policies. This
should be part of NBU tools but you can do it yourself.

Re: Combine Unix and Windows master servers
Thanks for the response.
Is there a way to combine the catalogs so that restores from before combining
the systems would be available?
Thanks

Re: Combine Unix and Windows master servers
Have you tried backing up the catalog data on the server you are going to
decommission and restoring them to the server you are going to use? At some
point, you are probably going to want to make one of them a media server.
