Networker 7.1.0 on Solaris 8 Server

We'll be moving soon from a tape-based backup system to a disk-based backup
system.  We'll be implementing staging too.

The Fixed Bugs List for 7.1.1 mentions at least two staging bugs.


LGTpa60465 The nsrstage process was limited to 1,024 characters. This has
been fixed so the buffer size is dynamically allocated to allow the required
number of characters.

LGTpa60475 The nsrstage process resulted in empty save sets during
incremental backups. There were no media database entries for the staged
save sets. This has been fixed.

We run a lot of incremental backups, so LGTpa60475 might hit us pretty
hard.   Has anyone running Networker 7.1.0 or lower with staging
implemented seen problems with incremental backups?  I'm wondering if we
need to upgrade to 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 (some advanced file type fixes) as part
of our migration/upgrade process.

Thank you.
