I have an Axxion NetBackup 1.7 client, will that work with 6.5? :)

No clue. When I started here 5 years ago we were running 5.1 in production.
I've handled the 6.0, 6.5, and soon 7.0 upgrades. I setup the "legacy" 5.1
master to pick up a bunch of orphaned clients from a dead 4.5 master another
group managed. Occasionally while cleaning out an old storage closet, I will
run into NetBackup boxed software for the
3 and 4 versions. I haven't seen anything older than that, but I wouldn't be
surprised if I did. The situation is certainly not best practice, but I
don't get to decide what gets upgraded and what languishes for 20+ years.

Hi Jon,

Wow, legacy 3.x clients!!
How long have you been using NBU?
