Yeah!  Cheap shots at Symantec are reserved for those of us who have spent many 
restless nights fighting Netbackup. =P
 
Just my .02 - Migrated several Windows 2000 5.1 environments to 6.0 MP4 and 
then to 6.5.1, 6.5.2 and 6.5.2a.  Although there have been issues, I've only 
had to apply one engineering binary to one environment that had an issue with 
calendar backups.  Maybe I'm just lucky (or maybe Symantec doesn't test on 
Non-Windows OS =P) but from my experience I think 5.1, 6.0 MP4, 6.51+ are all 
stable products.

        Watch out for this one with 6.5.1 on Windows:

The technote says that this is fixed in 6.5.2. <http://6.5.2./> 

 

        Right now I'm caught between that one and the completely broken 6.5.2A -

The technote says that there's an EEB available for this.  6.5.2A is *NOT 
completely broken.  Many years, us included, are running it in full production.


 

        You'd think they'd test this stuff before release by ,say, trying to 
run a
        backup or something...


This has been discussed before.  Your comment is unwarranted and low shots like 
this don't encourage Symantec employees or other users to help you.
