Simon,
 
Your answer is Yes and No.  
Yes: 6.0 can backup up NT4 if it has a 5.1 client on it.  
No: 6.0 has no NT4 client

 
I still have 3 NT4.0 machines I backup every night with NBU 6.0 MP4.
The client on them is 5.1.

Am I right in thinking 6.0 or higher does no longer support NT 4 ?

        We still have a fairly busy 4.5 environment due to older OS
versions so I can't see us moving off our 5.1 environment for a while
... this for us is the "show-stopper" for not upgrading.

                I don't believe that customers are being placed between
a rock and a hard place - 6.0 MP4 is a stable release that works today.
I have not heard of any show-stopper bugs in 6.0 that would prevent
anybody from upgrading.  You may need an engineering fix or two, and
perhaps MP5 will include those, but in general, the current release
works for just about everybody.

                If you really feel that 5.1MP4 is rock solid, and there
are no issues, why are you concerned with Symantec continuing to support
it?  You don't *have* to upgrade - just don't log a call and expect it
to get fixed.  If you have no issues, you'll have no calls to log and it
won't matter if it's supported or not.  I've got a non-Symantec product
running that we last logged a call on in 2000 (and our license agreement
says that we have to keep it under support as long as we're running it).

                I also believe 5.1 MP4+ is the most rock solid product
I've run (less DSSU issues) and would prefer to stay on that version and
not be forced between choosing either 6.0 MP4+ or 6.5 GA

                I would suggest for those in the group who are also
wanting to wait for 6.5 MP1+ to contact their Veritas/Symantec
SE/Account Mgr's and let them know as a customer you're being placed
between a rock and a hard place in terms of migration choices.

                 

                In talking with my former RTAM and current local
Symantec SE, I'm starting to hear they maybe considering the Oct 2007
date as a "soft" and not a hard date.

                 

                Now maybe the time to put our voices behind this and
tell them Oct 2007 end of support for 5.1 is unacceptable.
