We are planning an upgrade to Networker to version 7.6.2 while continuing to 
use VCB for a while and would like to be able to test VADP backups without 
having to upgrade all of our virtual clients, so our VCB proxy host will be 
staying at version 7.6.1.

We had thought that we could setup another proxy host (and storage node) with 
Networker 7.6.2 and use that as the test proxy host for VADP.  The question 
is...can you create a "VADP" client in Networker 7.6.2 while still using your 
existing VCB clients, or is that just not possible?

We were hoping to configure and test VADP without trying to go "big bang" and 
hope it just works.

One thing we did find in testing the upgrade to Networker 7.6.2 is that the 
Virtualization piece is now mandatory.  We were not using that feature in the 
current version (7.5.3.2), but in order to define a proxy host in 7.6.2, it has 
to be "discovered" by the Virtualization Auto Detection so that the proxy host 
is "selectable" from the drop down list (whereas before in earlier versions, 
proxy host could be typed in).

Thanks,
Kevin
