Allan, I have successfully performed this type of workload transfer a number of times using ABARS with and without Mainstar's Backup and Recovery Manager (BRM) Suite. Using BRM to track the backups and facilitate the restores makes the job much easier and less error prone. I would be happy to discuss the process with you, either here or on the telephone. Regards, Ron Ratcliffe
