Shutdown legato and move just the mm directory (media databases) from the production legato to the other machine. Then you can recover the entire save set using the same media library. (I haven't tried this exact method but have used the theory to keep the media databases intact after Legato crashes) If you're restoring a save set to another machine (from the gui) use options->relocate or (from command line) recover -d option to relocate. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
