I think it will certainly be easier to re-backup the data. Faster? Not sure, but probably as fast as an export would go.
I guess I wouldn't over think this: set up new client after the data is moved and do the backup. Probably be done before you know it. You will obviously lose the previous versions of files, but you could keep the old filespaces around until the data expires. If this is mostly on tape I'd opt for this approach.

Also have a W2K3 client with version 5.5.0.0 BA client, doing backups only. This has about 2 dozen drives and therefore filespaces. There is many TB of data involved in total and these are all SAN disks. (Also many TB of data that is left, so not easy to say redo that either.) For several technical reasons, they need to move about half the SAN disks to another server and leave half on existing server. They will just rezone those disks to the new server, no copying involved. I certainly don't want to backup all this "moved" data again. If was ALL being moved to new server, I could just RENAME NODE and FILESPACES and be done with it, have done that before. But is not the case. As I see it, my only option is to EXPORT NODE for the filespaces that are being moved and then import again into new node. I have never used Export Node, but have almost a few times over the years. Am I correct that this is my only option? Other than backing up in new location and deleting in old - or would that be faster and easier? NO idea on the speed this works. I have 3584 library with LTO2 and 3 drives/tapes. Thanks, David Longo Health First, Inc. ##################################### This message is for the named person's use only.
