Symantec support will talk to you about troubleshooting issues
on older clients. However, if it comes down to something that would
require a code change to the older client, that would be a no go.

Heading off
topic, but for the benefit of those who had a heart-attack thinking they were
out of support with 5.1 clients as they ARE supported with NBU 6.x Master/Media
servers.
Change ARE to WERE. All of 5.1 has already reached end of support life so
although the original combination was supported, it isn't any longer.
That means it will very likely work but don't call Symantec if it
doesn't. We've got another couple of years for 6.x though: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/332616.htm
I
have tested this on some proprietary servers of my own, and the 5.1 client
works with 7.0, although not supported. If you are running any 6.5.x with
a 5.1 client, that isn't supported either, so no harm, no foul. From what
I understand, the code base isn't that different from 6.5 to 7.0, and that is
why it works.
Actually, the UNIX code base from 6.5 to 7.0 is actually quite different since
32-bit OS releases were dropped and 64-bit was added. I asked one of the
developers how much actually had to change for 64-bit and he said it was a lot
more than you would expect. A lot of very old legacy code was tossed and
replaced with current code. Interestingly enough, I haven't heard of any 7.0
Unix client issues related to the 64-bit upgrades.
