Hi ,
I am planning to migrate an existing master server1 7.5.0.7 to a new master server2 7.6.1 in a window 2008 r2 x64bit server (two different master servers in the same domain with different name). I have 4 TBs long-retention backups in both tapes and disk in 7.5.0.7 , and will plan to migrate those backup images to a new master server2 in 7.6.1 environment. The old master server1 7.5.0.7 will be eventually decommissioned after all been migrated over.
Q1: what is the best way to migrate those backup images over to a new master 7.6.1? Tape versus OST disk.
Q2: If it is through tapes, can 2 different master servers share the same tape library? If yes, please advise on how?
Q3: If it is through tapes, are phase 1 and phase 2 import required to allow the backup images are completely migrated over and stored in 7.6.1 catalog (Tech43584 )?
Thanks!
