Ok so I am biased here! =20

I would go with 6.0, the changes are significant enough there is no need
to go through all of the 5.x issues, and get used to how to manage that
environment only to upgrade in a year or so to 6.x and learn all its new
features. Start with 6.0 and learn it from the start and you won't be
as confused later. Also, I must say for a .0 release that 6.0 appears
to be stable. Now with that said, only empirical data from sustained
field use will tell the whole story.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup 5.x or Netbackup 6.x
=20
I'm certain the community at large has an opinion, but if you were
migrating to a new pristine backup environment would you start fresh
with a variant of NBU 5.x or NBU 6.x? The environment will end up being
2 or 3 AIX master servers with 3 dedicated media servers per environment
and roughly 25-30 Oracle media servers per environment. Roughly 1000
clients spread across the master servers.
=20
Thanks,
