Judy, can you point me to.. "And the patch for exchange backups...."
I've not seen anything about that in the docs.

Thanks!

I think you really should read  .... because

IF you have NBAC you need to upgrade that first before you upgrade NB
You need to move any clients that are going to stay at a level below 7.0
to their own policy
The Doc says you should not mix 7.0 clients with 6.5 clients in the same
policy
That after you upgrade the nblog.conf will be over written and all
logging levels will be reset to default.  So if you have different
logging levels you should make note of them so you can put the back
after the upgrade.

..and I am only on page 65 of the upgrade doc

The additional notes told me I will need the patch for the 233 ( I have
suffered that for over 2 years)
The patch for calendar schedules on aix
The patch for dfsr
And the patch for exchange backups....
And those are just the ones that apply to my environment.

If you have NOM you need to upgrade to Ops Center, but if you do that
and your master server is still on 6.5.x you will need to install and
config an agent to monitor the 6.5.x server.  But if you upgrade right
away you don't need the agent.

....They took the time to write the doc's, you should take the time to
read the doc's.  You never know what you might find in them.

My NBU master and media servers are all windows server 2003

What I did was a very simple 7 step process,  

1 - I performed a full system backup of the master server
2 - I performed a catalog integrity check
3 - I performed a hot catalog backup
4 - I installed the upgrade on the master server
5 - I installed the upgrade on the media servers
6 - I ran a backup of 10 client machines to verify that all systems were
still able to be backed up since I have a couple old    O/S that have to
run 5.1 version of client. 
7 - I performed restores to alternate locations of data backed up in
step 6

The only issue I had was the media server that seemed to lose its
settings in the EMM database after upgrading the master server.  Running
tpautoconf -a on the media server fixed this issue.
