We have been forced onto 7.x to support our 2012R2 servers (that is the
only client that is supported) but apparently still need 6.3.x for Windows
2003 (which still has over a year of support left from Microsoft).  We may
go to 6.4.x or 7.x on 2008/2012 servers if it will cure our database backup
issues (which we have been working with IBM for a few months on).  I have a
funny feeling that 7.x would work on 2003 but we do not want any
unsupported scenarios for backups.
