Cheryl,

Make the leap of faith.  I have 3 installations and I upgraded from 5.1 MP6 to 6.0 MP4 at one location and from 5.1 MP6 to 6.5.1 at another location and both upgrades went smoothly and both sites have been running great for over 2 months.  Use the nbcc utility and work with Symantec to make sure your database is stable and the upgrade should be relatively painless.  My last upgrade will be to 6.5.1 because I see no reason not to bump it up all the way.  6.5.1 seems very stable so far.  However, I did not take into consideration all of the new features in 6.x.  There are new error codes, parent/child jobs, different ways to backup the catalog . . .    I wish I had taken a class first to familiarize myself with what’s new in 6.x.  I have a few concerns about my backups even though everything seems to be running great.  I’d just like to know for sure.

Thanks,
Randy

Cheryl

We have been running 6.5.1 in our test lab for 3 months now, with no problems.

I haven't been on the list in about a year due to other work load.  I
now find the version of NBU we're running is only supported until
3/31/2008.  We would like to upgrade to v6.5.1.  Just checking for
opinions on that version.

Currently at v5.1 MP5 Solaris Master/Media, Win Media.
