Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with upgrading from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 and NBU 6.5 to 7.0? Currently my backup server is running the older versions of both. I have the software to upgrade both of them. Is there a preferred sequence: upgrade NBU then the OS or upgrade the O

Yeah, I was in the same boat, had just upgraded to 7.0.1 and then realized 7.1 was available. Delving into the 7.0.1 docs related to VMware backups using the vStorage API, if you're planning on using a VM guest as a backup host using the "hotadd" feature for access to the vmdk's, I'm pretty certa
