Migrating policies and catalog
I use netbackup 6.0 mp 7 on a single server 2003 std 32bit. I have 60 policies.
I have a new 2003 r2 std 64bit server that i want to use for the backups now.
Whats the best way to migrate polices so i can restore and such if needed? I don't mind recreating policies from scratch if need be.
I just don't know too much about catalogs and such. I want to retain my old backups of course. Most are
on a 2 week retention time.
SUN library with 4 lto3 drives hooked up to FC switch.
So far i have the new server up and running with netbackup installed and connected to fiber switch and seeing the library and drives. Ive done a few test backups so everythings seems to be working fine. Now the migration part. Any help would be great.
Thank you.

- You should to backup NB catalog in existing environment, then install NB on new machine with the same DNS name, setup devices and restore NB catalog from backup.
