I haven't seen any responses, so here's my take on it.

In my environment, 6.1.2 hasn't caused any new problems that weren't there
already in 6.1.1, and we haven't had any media database corruption
problems since upgrading to 6.1.2 (knock on wood).  We had several media
database corruption problems at 6.1.1.

My impression of 6.1.2 is that it's more stable than 6.1.1 was.  We're
backing up about 100 clients of mixed pedigree, and we have a STK9710
library now with SuperDLT drives, currently hosted on a Tru64 UNIX
4.0f server.

With NetWorker, I'm always leery of upgrading unless there's a good reason
to go to some newer version, but in my experience 6.1.1 -> 6.1.2 is a
low-risk upgrade.
