Normally we wait till a server blows up and then have the nightmare task of retrieving the placeholders and migrating them to a new server, however, i'm now trying to get a jump on everything and think ahead, one of my servers looks like it will blow up pretty soon.. so i 'm planning to move all the data off onto a new server.
Now the fun starts.. If i restore from my Backup Exec backups, all the files including the placeholders to a new location (server) the placeholders will not work because they come over as dead files. (funny this as both the vaulting software and the back up software are Symantec..)
If i use the fsautility to move the placeholders i'll be here till doomsday as it can only handle 1 folder at a time
I cant recreate the placeholders as it only recreates to a server with the same name, and the server is still live.
If i move the placeholders using normal commands, it recalls the files and i end up recalling all 150gb data.
Has anyone got any advise what i should attempt next...
Regards
Richard
