Merge two media server onto one

Mark_Hoffman

Greetings all,
I have two Bexec servers, each with a tape auto-loader. I would like to move all operations to one server. I can move the drive and scsi card, and get the expansion license.
What I don't know how to do is move all the jobs and such from one computer to the the other.
Is there documentation for how to do this?

Thanks,
Mark Hoffman

Ken that technote wont work. You cant apply a configuration file from one media server to another. It will just overwrite the existing media server jobs.

You need to move the hardware over.
Then you can right click on any job or selection list and move to another media server. It will copy the jobs over.

You will have to re-adjust the jobs once thy are moved to point to the right device and assign new media sets.

The catalogs you can copy over manually

After a reboot, the option will be available to use to copy backup jobs from one Backup Exec 10.x Media server to another Backup Exec 10.x Media server.
