OUCH!  Support is one thing, will it work (with an older client
version)?

Anyone running 6.5 backing up Solaris 8 clients?  What client versions
are you running?

Thanks

Im just reading through documentation and apparently Solaris 8 as a
client isnt supported under NBU 6.5 so that rules that out as the
infrastructure is still ruinning Sol8. Bit harsh me thinks.

Thing is unless we go to 6.5 the customer will be paying lots for 6 and
then in a years time when 7 comes out 6 will be no longer supported as i
beleive NBU only goes 1 level back for support?
