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.

I’m currently planning our upgrade to 7.0, and most of my 5.1 Windows 2000 I will convert to VMware ESX backups, but I’ve got a few Windows 2000 non-vm, HP-UX, and Sun OS machines with 5.1 clients that I will have to test. I won’t be able to test recover of the HP-UX and Sun hardware because we don’t have spares. -Jonathan From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of scott.geo...@parker.com Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 5:27 PM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media Its not supported, but it still works. If you are still using that version of a client, probably everything else about the client is unsupported too! We have a couple of AIX 4.3.3 servers using that client. Backing up just fine. The NBU client on these systems is the very least of my worries! ;-) -----veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu wrote: ----- To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU From: DiskJockey Sent by: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Date: 03/31/2011 04:31PM Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media we just did our upgrade from 6.5.1 to 7.0.1 from my research 5.x is not support by 7.0, I believe the min. version is 6.x +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by ch...@pamf.org via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu "PLEASE NOTE: The preceding information may be confidential or privileged.
