Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media

Symantec supports the current and two major revisions back of the client. So, in your case, 7.0.x will support 7.0 clients, 6.5 clients and 6.0 clients. This isn't to say this will not work, and even Symantec states that though it's not supported, it still may work just fine. In fact, if it's working fine now, I would expect it to work just fine going forward. We have several older clients that have run or are running legacy versions and haven't had any issues. If you need support, you will probably get the response of "Please upgrade the client first".

Subject	[Veritas-bu] NBU 5 client backing up to NBU 7 Master & Media

HI,

Does anyone know of issues with backing up a Netbackup 5 client (MP6) on a Master and Media server running 7.0.1 ?

We have a customer being very obstructive to an upgrade and did so also when we upgraded to 6.5.
We will get it up to 7.0.1 but I just want to make sure there are no problems or if there are issues I can tell them in advance what may happen while it still runs 5.0 MP6.

The client only gets a flat file backup of the C:\ D:\ and system state and is running Windows 2003 SP2.

Thanks
Kevin
