As far as I can tell 7.4 is a branch off one of the 7.3.2 Jumbo Builds but I am 
not sure which  - it adds internationalisation to the NMC gui and to the logs, 
and there is a new clinet upgrade mechanism.

>From the perspective of NMC it has several improvements:
* The JRE required is 1.5 instead of 1.4
* usability tweaks - tape operations displayed on the library window etc...

The Client upgrade functionality seems like it will be useful, but you have to 
have at least 7.4 clients beofre this can be used, so it will be a while before 
the benefits can be seen.

The internationalisation seems to have been implemented reasonably well - it 
provides french, german, and chinese language packs so far.

However!!!!   The /nsr/logs/daemon.log is gone!    The code for alerting has 
been completely overhauled in all binaries and modules and the default is now 
to write to /nsr/logs/daemon.raw. It is intended that to read the raw log you 
pipe it through the new nsr_render_logs filter that localises the error 
messages. The result is that all custom scripts that watch networker log files 
will be broken.


I think from my perspective - I will upgrade my NMC server first - I'm hoping 
they have fixed some bugs in it... It's not too hard to back out of if it does 
screw up, and our windows client people will be pleased they can finally dump 
the 1.4 JRE from their builds....

But there's no way I'm going near it on an actual backup server - not until 
version 7.4.7 (as Davina has said, that will really fly).

The current latest sorta-stable version is 7.3.2 Build 499 - EMC are about to 
release 7.3.3 which will have more fixes in it that 7.4...    So I'm waiting to 
test 7.3.3
