We're planning an upgrade to NW v7.2.2 on our server. We have a

of legacy clients running v6.x of the client (Tru64 and Linux).
Because
of the level of the OS, these clients cannot be upgraded. Is anyone
running v7.2.x server with v6.x clients? Are there any problems?
My NetWorker server runs version 7.2.1 on Solaris 9 with a mix of
around 250 clients of various and sundry operating systems. I have
not encountered any compatibility issues with older NetWorker
clients. Most of the clients in my data zone are also running 7.2.1.
I do have a handful of older 6.x clients and one 5.5.1 client. Just
out of curiosity, I logged onto the Tru64 Unix server where that
5.5.1 client lives and I tried to recover a directory. The recover
process worked fine. A diff between the recovered directory and the
original directory showed no differences. This directory was fairly
small, just a few MB of flies because that server is nearly out of
disk space. In fact, just as i finished doing that test recovery, the
person who uses that old server walked into my office and told me
he's very close to decommissioning it.
