Suzanne,

I wouldn't upgrade to 4.5fp6 just yet.  Wait until MP1 or (5.1) is
released within the next week.  But on the other hand, if you are using
the exchange agent,  you can backup Exchange 2003 with any version of
Netbackup.  It depends what kind of backups you want to do.  That is the
difference.  Mailbox level is easier in 5.0 than 3.41.  How many storage
groups do you have?  How is your exchange setup?

Cheers
Josh

Subject: [Veritas-bu] okay, now I'm hopelessly confused

I'm trying to upgrade our NetBackup system so we can back up Exchange
(currently running NB 3.4). I was going to install 5.0, but there seems
to be a lot of issues with it (?) and going through the initial install
there's this whole thing about VxSS, which claims it's on a "clearly
marked" CD, but it isn't. Some googling seems to indicate it hasn't come
out yet. I can't tell from the doc if I need this piece, or if I can
just skip it, or what.  

So then I was thinking about just going to 4.5 until 5.0 was a little
more stable (and all the parts out), but can 4.5 back up Exchange 2003?

I'd certainly appreciate (always do!) any guidance or advice you folks
can provide.

-Suzanne
