We will upgrade a NetWorker server from Solaris 8 machie to a Solaris 9 and I would like to be sure of one last thing. Does anyone know if the default block size is different between Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 (We would llike to be able to read bootstrap from "old" backup) ?


The block size is not set by the OS. It is set by NetWorker for a particular device type but can also be restricted by the drivers used on a particular OS. In general this is never an issue with Unix systems, it is typically badly written drivers for Windows systems that cause the trouble.
