Is anyone aware if it is possible to move the VBR database onto another server?

Does anyone have experience with moving the VBR database onto another host?  We cant upgrade to the Ops Center yet so I'm trying to find a way to extend my environment. I figure I could get some more performance this way.

The process is noted in the VBR Admin Guide.

To back up the Veritas Backup Reporter database
1 Log on to the Veritas Backup Reporter database server host in one of the
following ways:
Solaris root
Windows As an administrator or user in the Administrator group
2 Open the Solaris console or Windows command prompt.
3 Run the backup script that is appropriate for your platform. Specify one of
the following backup directories depending on your platform:
Solaris /opt/VRTSdbms3/bin/dbbackup /my_db_backup_dir
C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\VxDBMS3\Win32\DbBackup.bat
C:\MyDbBackupFolder
Windows
The backup script creates ccsvc.db, vxdmbulk.db, and ccsvc.log (if it exists)
in the backup directory that you specified.


To restore a backed up Veritas Backup Reporter database
1 On the management server whose backup data you want to restore, open a
UNIX console or a Windows command prompt and log in as root (on UNIX)
or as an administrator or user in the Administrators group (on Windows).
Solaris Open a Solaris console and then log in as root.
Open a Windows command prompt and log in as an administrator
or user in the Administrators group.
Windows
All the paths shown in the steps that follow are the default database install
paths. These paths may different for your site if the database was installed
anywhere other than the default location.
2 To stop all Veritas Backup Reporter processes, do one of the following:
Type the following command and press Enter.
/opt/VRTS/bin/vbrserver stop force
Solaris
Use the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) to stop all
Veritas Backup Reporter services.
Alternatively, you can also use the following commands to
automatically stop all Veritas Backup Reporter processes:
cd <INSTALDIR>\Tools
cscript vx_services_stop.vbs
3 To restore the backed up database, do one of the following:
Type the following command and press Enter.
/opt/VRTSccsvs/bin/dbbackup <backupDir> -restore
<restoreDir>
Solaris
Type the following command and press Enter.
C:\Program
Files\VERITAS\VxDBMS3\Win32\DbBackup.bat
<backupDir> -restore <restoreDir>
Windows
where backupDir is the directory where the backed up database resides, and
<restoreDir> is the location of the current Veritas Backup Reporter database.
restoreDir is optional.

So is it possible to rename the VBR server's name at this point?
