The HKLM\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\NetBackup\CurrentVersion\Config\Server key
does hold the old server, followed by the new one - so that may be
causing the problem. Unfortunately it's stored in hex values so I'm
hesitant to try updating it. The other odd thing I noticed is that in
the "Backup, Archive and Restore" GUI, it won't let me delete the old
server from the server list, but it allows me to delete and re-add the
new one all I want, and allows me to make either of them current. So,
it seems that it is having a hard time letting go of the old server for
some reason.
It does show the correct server under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup\NetBackup
Client\oracle\Settings\DefaultServerName so I'd think that would do the
trick, but maybe that other key you mentioned is overriding this one.
I think we might have to go with a reinstall.
I'm not positive that PARMS was ever working, but IIRC, we had to set
those in order to get the backups to work initially - otherwise we would
have just set all the NB_ORA_* parameters as regular environment
variables in the script like we do for all our Unix clients, but those
don't seem to get picked up consistently on Windows.
Thanks!

See what is in the registry:

How do you know that the PARMS parameters worked in the past, and you
weren't
just lucky and all the defaults worked?
