There is an engineering binary fix (bpdbm) for the compressed
catalog/restore issue with MP5. We have requested the binary, have it in
place and it took care of the problem. Of course this is all the more
proof (like we need more) that Symantec's QA testing of their product
stinks, but I assume all of us using Netbackup already knew that.

Catalog compression bug (dont go to mp5 if you have a compressed
catalog), you can't restore from it, etc.
I see the jnbSA/data becomes stale.
What else?
