Hi James
Yes done this, in different ways
Key thing is, that you have a DR plan in place should something go wrong.
 
In my view, upgrade to NBU 7.0
 
Before going to Win2k8, get a GOOD Backup of the System (as it is) and a Catalog Backup of your "current working" environment :-)
 
Upgrade to Win2k8 - You should find that NBU would not have changed.
 
Can confirm the policies have not changed or amended in my environment.
 
I would suggest going to 7.0.1 or if possible, 7.1 now. That is the only suggestion.
Should things go completely wrong, at least you can "roll back".

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Server OS and NBU upgrades

Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with upgrading from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 and NBU 6.5 to 7.0?  Currently my backup server is running the older versions of both.  I have the software to upgrade both of them.  Is there a preferred sequence: upgrade NBU then the OS or upgrade the OS first and then NBU?  When upgrading NBU, will it preserve the settings and policies already created?
