I doubt you can bounce a 6.0 master while a media is running anything. In my experience that kills anything running immediately. (6.0MP4 all the way around here.) As far as client being ahead of the master, you *can* do it, but your asking for trouble. If there is a client and server bug fix your trying to accomplish your potentially going to make things worse by applying the fix to only one end. In the end its always a tough call. Lose backup data trying to fix a problem versus live with the problem for a while. There's just never a good time for server outages. -Jonathan

The master server is Solaris 6.0MP3 and the backup is being staged to a Solaris media server (also version 6.0 MP3). I have a ticke open for on another Windows client which support wants me to upgrade from 6.0GA to 6.0MP4. So here are my questions. - Once the backup started talking to the media server can I stop and start the master server without killing the backup? - If the answer is yes, then can I upgrade the master server to 6.0MP4 while the media server is still running 6.0MP3? Will that cause problems. - If the answer to the first question was no, then can I still upgrade the Windows client to 6.0MP4 while I leave the server at 6.0MP3?
