Re: [Veritas-bu] Can NBU 6.5 database be imported into NBU 7 / Upgrade with fresh O/S & NBU install steps

Good point, however I suspect it would work. My testing with
2008 and 2008 R2 shows the OS are similar, with the exception of system state
backups (new API by Microsoft required in R2). If he was going to R2 I
suppose you could build a 3rd 2008 server, restore to that and then
repeat to get to R2. I guess it depends on how much testing you are willing to
commit to make the solution happen.
Good luck!

Almost but not quite. 6.5.5 does NOT support Windows 2008 R2 as a SERVER
- only as a CLIENT. If you want to run a Windows 2008 R2 master server or
media server, you need to be running NetBackup 7.0. Furthermore, the
Windows 2008 servers must be running on x64, not x86 or ia64.
The OS compatibility lists are your friends. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/NBUESVR_digest.htm
