" Goal: How To Migrate NetWorker between platforms Goal: The best way to migrate to a new platform Goal: How to move the NetWorker server cross platforms Fact: NetWorker Symptom: Indexes are not moving Cause: Moving the NetWorker software to another operating system is not supported due to the fact that the media database is not stored in a portable format (XDR). Fix: Cannot move between different platforms.
We migrated NetWorker three years ago from AIX to Linux, this was basically an installation from scratch.
I don't want to scare you off, but in our case this migration turned out to be a very big mistake. From the first to the last day running NetWorker on Linux we had stability and performance problems.
Three weeks ago I migrated NetWorker from Linux to Windows and all my Linux stability and performance problems have disappeared. I couldn't be more happier.

Last time I looked the movement of the NSR database between different operating systems was NOT supported.
