My Symantec SE said at one point that as soon as Microsoft Released Exchange 2007 that binaries would be available to support it in 6.0. That was before we paid for an upgrade to 6.0 a year ago. Six months ago our plans for Exchange 2007 got postponed so I haven't followed up or pressed this issue. -Jonathan

We are running NBU 5.0 MP7 on a predomintatly solaris platform. We are due to upgrade h/w and s/w and i was wondering was it worth going for 6.0 which seems to be used quite a bit by people now, or do we go to new 6.5 ? Also we have around 20 servers including a 2 node Sun Cluster ( attached to T3 arrays ) running oracle10g. Is there anything special which can be done with 6.5 or is it just worth still doing filesystem ! backups direct to Tape Thanks _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu This Email message and any attachment may contain information that is proprietary, legally privileged, confidential and/or subject to copyright belonging to Pepco Holdings, Inc. or its affiliates ("PHI").
