Either 1 or 2 should work. Alternatively, if the old fileserver (client) is not being used anymore, you can probably just change the Client Address= line in the Director's config. This has the advantage of allowing old tapes to be reloaded into the database with bscan (since the client's name is written into the job). __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
