Ya, I know. That's why I have the SCO servers in the first place. After
working in this field for 13 years, I have run across several such
applications, both home grown and purchased.
My point was that 3.4 clients are no longer supported when you move to
NetBackup 5.0 or above. And with upgrading to NetBackup 5.1, the 3.4
clients for SCO OpenServer no longer work correctly and there is no
support to get them working correctly. As I said, if you can, test every
platform in a test environment before upgrading. You want to know the
issues before you get there, if you can.
Unfortunately, I do not have a test environment. So, my testing had to be
done after the fact. I had already looked at what to do if the backups
did not work at all. At least I can back them up and get the info back if
necessary. Even if it means jumping through hoops.

Subject: RE: backup NT4 client using netbackupv6.0
Hi Richard.
Yes what you say is true, but 4.5 is going out of support this summer.
This means that up to then are issues are suported. I suppose that most
issues regarding NT (since NT has been rather static for some years) have
been resolved. But it's not a matter of implementation, but rather that
many people don't have a choice. Many applications have been designed for
some platform, then dumped by the designers. leaving the customer haning
over the edge of a cliff.
And you always have to backup......
Regards,
Jim

Mark and Jim
Be aware that using clients older then one generation may work, you may
run into what I have. I have several SCO Openserver 5 clients running the
NetBackup 3.4 client software on them. I just upgraded our Master/Media
server from 4.5 FP 6 to 5.1 MP 4. Now, I am able to back the servers up,
but do to a difference in coding, I get an error on restores and then the
restore just hangs out there. I have to manually kill the job. Through
testing, I have found I can restore the backups to a Solaris 8 box then
ftp them to the SCO box.
In short, unsupported clients may work, but do not count on it without
testing before implementation.

I have a 3.4 HPUX client on a 5.0 Master. Although Veritas says not
supported, it doesn't mean it doesn't work. Your problem will be only if
you
need support.
Regards,
Jim
