NBU unix client upgrading
Currently, I've 3 nbu master server(windows) with different domain(7.0, 7.1, 7.1)
I've planing to consolidate them and will be a Master server(unix server) with 7.6 version.
1. I needs upgrade nbu client(unix) that connected to existing master server then connect to new master server.
How to upgrade nbu client(unix)? Is there upgrade shell script like install script(./install)? or Uninstall then new install?
2. How to restore tape that already backed up from exiting master server to new master server?
As per my post above - if you do not merge the masters, you will need to import tapes one-by-one.

If you do not merge and do not keep old masters around to browse for images and find which tape contains the images, you will have a hard time figuring out which tape(s) to import.
Careful when adding tapes from other environment to new server!
NBU will not know about the data on tape and add tape as new, unassigned, available.Best to create a different pool (e.g. RESTORE) and add these tapes to this new pool that will never be used for backups.
