Re: Sure I read somewhere this was bad practice, but for life of me.... cant find it!
Probably saw this in the release notes on mixed-server compatibility environments. 7.1 release notes page 41. Suspect it id doc’d in other versions of Release notes also. I didn’t check.
■ In a mixed-server environment, the master server must run the highest version
of NetBackup in use in that configuration.
■ A master server can inter-operate with a media server that is running a level
of NetBackup that is one major release lower.
■ A media server cannot have a numerically higher version than the master
server. (Each media server must run equal or lower levels of NetBackup than
the master server with which it is associated.)
