Any chance of seeing this doc? Sorry im a bit late on coming on board, but
looking to move to NBU 6 soon, so would like to know of any pros or cons or
lack of upgrade!

Thanks

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Re: NetBackup 6.0 master with 5.x media servers


Looking more closely at the doc it appears that NB will "know" about the NB
5.x media servers and I just run that command once for compatibility, so it
will work just fine with the NB media servers, right?
