I haven't heard of any compatibility issues backing up a Solaris 8 NetWorker 
client.  Doesn't prove anything though.

Is Solaris 8 still supported by Oracle?  If not, then that may be one reason 
why it is not listed in the NetWorker Software Compatibility list.

I don't remember offhand what Solaris version was used when compiling 
NetWorker.   For kicks you can check by running:

  /usr/ccs/bin/what   /usr/sbin/nsrexecd

This will tell you, among other things, what o/s version and architecture the 
binary was compiled on.  (I think)
