I gather from this mailing list that most people have Unix masters and Unix
Clients, with occasional NT clients.
(and that's the best way to be, especially as Netbackup is written for Unix
and then Ported to NT)

Unfortunately I'm the other way round: NT master, 150 NT clients and a few
unix clients.
NT is fine, but installing, upgrading and patching the unix clients (locally
with no master) is a real pain.

I'm still on 3.1.5/3.1 and I'm finally upgrading to 3.2, but I'm having
problems with the unix clients.
The 3.2 upgrade  appends to /etc/services wrongly, and I just can't figure
out how to patch (J0820466) as the README files describe how to patch/push
from a unix master.  I've been on the phone to Veritas Support about 6 times
now.   Does anyone know how to do this?
(Or is it always going to be difficult because Netbackup is too biased
towards Unix?)

Bob
