Hi David

You can use swcopy, However you can install depot from that server as well with out copying to source system

swinstall -s depot_server_name location_of_ depot.

Is this a tape or directory depot?
You can just copy the tape depot. For a directory depot, you can use swcopy or swinstall directly.

>Sanjeev: you can install depot from that server as well

You forgot the ":":
swinstall -s depot_server_name:/location_of_depot
