I forgot to mention that our Netbackup Master is at 5.1 MP5
Question 1
Is it possible to have different version of Windows OS and still perform
Backups and Restores, while failing over the package between the
Exchange nodes?
Is this supported by Veritas.
Kind Regards

The key thing here, is that if you have a latest MP on your client, then
your Master needs the same - as the latest MP will contain updates that
your earlier MP will possibly not know about!
What you should be doing is ensuring you are in a prime position to
recover BOTH nodes at its current setup, BEFORE any upgrade takes place
(either from a backup, flash image, drive image, ect) so you can
rollback.
This way, your protecting yourself, as well as NetBackup, should the
upgrade go wrong.
But as a rule..... updates should be...
MP on Master
MP on Media Servers
MP on Clients
If you keep the same NBU Client on both nodes, it should work, and when
both are completed, you can then upgrade your environment to MP5 or
later (think 6 is out now!).
HTH a bit !

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgrading our Exchange Cluster from Win
2000 to Win2003
The exchange team are upgrading there servers from Windows 2000
to Windows 2003.
During the upgrade process they are planning to have one node 1
at Windows 2000 and the other node at Windows 2003.
Netbackup is installed on the X:\ drive which is shared between
the clusters.
The version of Netbackup on each node is currently - 5.1 MP3
I have two questions from the Netbackup point of view:
Question 1
Is it possible to have different version of Windows OS and still
perform Backups and restores, while failing over the package between the
nodes?
Question 2
Is it possible to have different versions of NB software on both
nodes e.g?
Windows 2000 5.1 MP3 Windows 2003
5.1 MP5
Kind Regards
