Is your VMS license hardware procected ?
If yes you will need new PAKs
If not you should trailor down instalation on 3100 to fit into 2000's
disk, then make standalone backup. There would be probably another
problem - your 2000 disk arangemant may be different, so logicals
pointing to those disks (especialy system disk) will fail. I think the
best way is restoring that backup on 3100 with 2000's disk hooked to it
and then editing all config files. Next put that disk back into 2000 and
ATOGEN.
But first check up PAKs
