Wow.

Can you get some solid metrics on the speed drop?

Is it only Exchange clients that are affected?

Are these clients, SAN clients, SAN media servers, etc?

Have you opened a case with Symantec over the issue yet?

(Yes: I'd recommend updating the client software. As I believe I mentioned on list, the security vulnerability, part of what 6.5.3.1 corrects, affects all members of your NetBackup system, including clients.)

We upgraded out master and two media servers to 6.5.3.1 (in order to backup a standby Exchange CCR node and Windows 2008) this week and our full backups this weekend are running incredibly slow, about 1/3 the normal speed. The client agents have not been upgraded, they are at v. 6.5.1. Do you think upgrading the agent will fix the speed issue, or am I going to need to open a support case?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

There are a lot of your customers that would rather have a 32bit install instead of having to install all new machines twice.

3 times. 6.5 base, 6.5.3 patch kit, then 6.5.3.1 security patch. Without LiveUpdate, I can't see any way to shrink this to less than 3 separate installs.
