we have the old Master ( Linux machine ) which was replaced by two Flex Appliances 5250 on two different sites
the new Masters/Media are on different domain
there is some images we want to keep from the old master for some months
is there any way to transfer the old images to the new appliances just to keep a backup for some months ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I assume that your backups are on MSDP. Then you have to
if all are correct, you will have your backups at the remote site. The nbreplicate will delete the <file_with_the_images>, so keep a copy in case you need to run it again.
Also, there is a possibility that the nbreplicate command failed after transferring the images. Wait for some time and check the target domain for the backups. If the catalog (GUI) or the bpimagelist command list the images, you are ok
If your backups are on tape, my suggestion is to do nothing and let the images expire. If you need a restore you must add the library to the Flex appliance, configure it and run the import procedure.

That is very sound advice right there! Kudos to you @StefanosM

Hi @sandreou
Depending on what NetBackup versions are involved, you may be able to use nbreplicate to transfer the images. You should also be able to perform a 2 phase import in the new domain (depending on where the backups are stored).
Cheers

Hi @davidmoline and thanks for your respond
The old NB is version 8.0 the new ones are 9.1
now the images are stored on different domains but there is communication between them i mean through network
Thanks
