James,

Overlaying then is what I mean.  Using tar, we are able to backup the entire
/usr/OV/databases/openview/ directory structure and move it to another
system when going from one AIX system to another AIX system.  My question is
can I tar up this same directory structure on an AIX system and then untar
it onto an NT platform?  Will this then function on NT?  Thanks,
