In regard to: [Networker] 7.2.2 Jumbo, Eugene Vilensky said (at 2:05pm on...:

Are Networker client 7.2.2 jumbo downloads available on Powerlink?  I
only see 7.4 and 7.5 releases.

7.2.2 is well past EOL so I wouldn't be at all surprised if EMC no longer
provides them in any format.

My understanding is running newer clients with older servers is a very
bad idea.

EMC recommends you avoid it if you can.  Many of us have done it from time
to time, though.  There have been discussions on the list about this issue
many times over the years, but I don't know that I've ever seen anything
that convinces me that it's officially unsupported.  Maybe there is an
official statement and I've just never found it.

What you're implicitly saying is that your backup server is still running
7.2.x.  Any reason why you haven't upgraded to something that is
supported?  Not matter what horror stories you've seen on this list about
problems with 7.4.x, you're going to have to either upgrade or change
products at some point.
