Gabe,
NetBackup 6.5 is huge feature release, not a Maintenance Pack for NBU 6.0. NBU 6.5 adds things like SAN Client, a new Open Disk API for better support of Storage and VTL's. When PureDisk 6.5 comes out, it will support PureDisk media servers, etc. It is a huge feature release. You should ask for an update from you Symantec Sales Team. Dave David K.

Did that change somewhere along the way? (As it happens, we're planning a hop from 5.1MP5 to 6.5 "soon"...) -- gabriel rosenkoetter Radian Group Inc, Unix/Linux/VMware Sysadmin / Backup & Recovery [EMAIL PROTECTED], 215 231 1556 ________________________________ From: Cornely, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 12:52 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade to 6.5 or 6.0MP4 Well, I'd say got to 6.0 MP5 (not MP4) since it addresses some issues in MP4, specifically things we've had issues with. I'm always very hesitant to move to any new software version of any product, be it Netbackup or anything else. But with Netbackup I've learned not to touch it until at least MP2 is out - clearly Symantec, like most software companies, considers time to market more important than addressing all bugs out of the gate so I strongly suggest 6.0MP5 unless there is a feature only available in 6.5 that you absolutely must have... caveat emptor. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 09:10 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgrade to 6.5 or 6.0MP4 Hi there, I am looking for opinions whether or not to go to 6.5 or 6.0MP4 Currently on 5.1MP6/Solaris - Master/ Solaris, Linux, Windows, Exchange, VM - Clients/ Flashbackup, BareMetal, Oracle raw partitions, - future options Alex Gerber CISSP, CISA Senior UNIX Systems Administrator Sepracor Inc. p. 508.357.7445 f. 508.357.7777 ________________________________ THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS COMMUNICATION AND ANY ATTACHMENTS HERETO IS CONFIDENTIAL, MAY BE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED, AND IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL USE OF THE ADDRESSEE(S).
