Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media
I had this issue too. I told the customer basically the same thing that Symantec tells us. "It will probably work, no guarantees though. If it doesn't work, you won't get any support unless you upgrade to a supported version". If they're not willing to upgrade, I don't see that there's much more you can do. - Dean On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 9:07 PM, wrote: > Symantec supports the current and two major revisions back of the client. > So, in your case, 7.0.x will support 7.0 clients, 6.5 clients and 6.0 > clients.

Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media
Symantec supports the current and two major revisions back of the client. So, in your case, 7.0.x will support 7.0 clients, 6.5 clients and 6.0 clients. This isn't to say this will not work, and even Symantec states that though it's not supported, it still may work just fine. In fact, if it's working fine now, I would expect it to work just fine going forward. We have several older clients that have run or are running legacy versions and haven't had any issues. If you need support, you will probably get the response of "Please upgrade the client first". Rusty Major, MCSE, BCFP, VCS ▪ Sr. Storage Engineer ▪ SunGard Availability Services ▪ 757 N.

We still bring back the 4.3.3 systems back at our DR exercise, but we use mksysb for restoring the operating system. From there, we use NBU for the file level restores, which do work. -"Martin, Jonathan" wrote: - To: , From: "Martin, Jonathan" Date: 03/31/2011 08:17PM Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media Have you tried recovering an entire operating system with the 5.1 client and 7.0 master?
