All,
I wanted to continue the thread i created but it has been locked.

As per advice i am at the following stage:
I ran a catalog backup to external USB on the old environment.
On the New VM i built as the same host name - i installed the same software (NBU 6.5.5) to the same location.
I then added a disk of the same drive letter as the external USB and copied over the catalog files and DR recovery file.
I then went through the Catalog recovery wizard and it completed successfully.
Now under db\images on the new server i have all my old servers now under folders.
As you said Marianne - is was hoping to follow your instructions by "This will enable you to browse for backups, preview required media, followed by import of relevant media on media server in new environment"
However when i go into the backup archive and restore window, edit client list to an old server, it always comes back with "does not contain any backups for client xxx using policy xxx as requested.
So i cannot select a server / folder and preview media to run an import of that tape in my current environment.
Am i missing a step?
Many thanks
