Cannot comment on 6.0 and 3.4 compatability, but I think I do recall a user
who had issues with 3.4 client and I am sure they said they were using
version 6.0 of NBU and it was NOT working - getting constant failures.

Damn!! Wish I knew where that email was !! Anyhow, for 5.1 I can confirm it
works, though not supported.

I am almost willing to stick my neck out and say you will probably be best
to upgrade - unless I was having a bad dream, I am sure someone posted on
here that there was a problem with 3.4 talking to 6.0

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6 compatibility w/ 3.4 Clients?


I'm implementing 6.0 here and I'm wondering how critical it is that we
upgrade *every last client* to 4.5+ !?  We only purchased a limited number
of 6.0 clients, most of our machines are 4.5 or 5.1.  But what about the
3.4s?  I know they aren't supported, but will it work?  I don't mind
spending time upgrading these machines, but many of them are more hassle
than their worth IMO.  If I can get backups of them with the 3.4 client,
many will be replaced within the next year or so.  Anyone even try this?  I
don't mind spending the time upgrading the 4.5s and 5.1s to 6.0 for critical
servers, but I've got 30 machines that sit around not doing much of
anything.  Their probably not worth backing up, much less getting an outage
for client upgrade. =P
