We abandoned Backup Reporter early in the 5.x era and moved to Aptare.
We haven't installed 6.5 yet but previous releases have provided better
reports than the old Backup Reporter. I am not impressed by Aptare tech
support at all though. It appears to be a relatively small company with

You can copy the actual backup images anyway you want, and copy the
catalog data from master to master as per:

You can "convert" a 2000DB to 2K5DB but that would be a job for the DBA
(there is a wizard for this but keep a backup of the 2000 DB and restore to
a new instance of the 2K5 using the conversion wizard). Where you restore
the information is relative but this sounds like a database question more

You have to go into the DB (NB 5.X) and change the image characteristics.
After that, you can restore away. The force restore does not work for DSU

Although I have never tried it, it should actually be possible within
SQL 2000 itself. Essentially, backup the DB using the SQL Backup tool
(in SQL2000) and then simply import (or restore) the DB into SQL 2005.
Im sure there is a wizard for this task.

I would agree with Justin. I have a DSSU of around 8TB sitting on a
CX600, with 15k drives in a SAN, and even with that the staging off will
slow down the backups enough to add around 6 hours to normally a 20 hour
backup.
You CAN do it, but you can also drag a 1000lb weight behind your car...

I can't reserve a drive totally to restore, because I have to use all 4 for

My DSSU includes 28 300Gb. 10K disks.

I try to limit the amount of time I'm simultaneously reading from and

big performance hit on the write to tape - in the neighborhood of 80%.
You could probably do better with FC or SAS Disks, but you are still

Windows master server running 6.5.
I am trying to create a new snapvault storage unit. I select the Disk
and the SnapVault type and then when I goto select the Media server and
SnapVault server, those fields are blank.
Where does netbackup get this info?
Could this be a licensing issue?
When you console into an L700 it looks like this:

Then you type your commands, what does the SL500 look like? Does it
