I know that AIX can't go to Windows with a DB backup/restore, but I seem to remember that it might be possible to go to another unix, pre-TSM6. Might be worth looking into considering Linux is an option.
Also, keep in mind that the NAS data will need to continue to live on the Library Manager. If you do end up restoring/re-backing up the data, just back it up using NFS/CIFS to avoid this situation in the future. I'm currently trying to get free of NDMP..

I need to get all of the data to a Windows or Linux TSM environment on x86. Export node will work well for everything EXCEPT a NAS node (you have to really love these little caveats and exceptions). A backup/restore or unload/load will probably fail due to big-endian/little-endian incompatibilities between the architectures. Does anyone have any recommendations for getting the NAS node data to the new server? I am thinking that I will have to do a full restore to a spare NAS device and then back it all up again. The current server is idle and the new destination server has yet to be built so it is wide open regarding linux/windows, TSM V5/V6 - I can pretty much do what I need to do to get this data moved (goodness knows that I shouldn't do what I want to do...grrrrr!)
