Believe it or not we have not applied any maintenance packs since upgrading to 
4.5.

I am looking for samples of "best practices" for installing NB Maint patches. 
We have a Sun 2.8 server as the Master, and also functions as a media server. 
Have 2 other Sun media servers, and 2 HP-UX media servers. The veritas 
documentation just mentions running, 
/bin/sh Vrts_pack.install,  then update the clients using update_clients, etc. 
Not much on their site about backing up the previous install or catalog via an 
OS backup, or coping it somewhere. Or how to recover from a back upgrade. 
I asume the Master/Media server should be done first, then the other media 
servers, then the clients. Is the update_clients script smart enough to what 
needs to be updated on a media server? I would just like more head-up, and 
gotchas kind of information.
