NO. The database structure is incompatible. You have to stay within the
platform for that to work. Even among UNIX varieties you cannot use the
tar method in all cases. I believe, though I have not tested, that you
could swap Solaris and AIX, but Digital Unix is different internally.

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,
