I am also sitting on the fence regarding the upgrade from v7.2.2 (jumbo patch)
to v7.3.x. We just upgraded our Red Hat kernel from ES3 to ES4 and due to this,
I am having some issues on sluggish response time on nsrjb commands (both
command line and GUI), but other than, we are very stable, server and clients
are still happy talking to each other.
It's almost summer, unless there is an urgent need to upgrade your backup
server and end up spending your summer time fixing it, don't upgrade yet. Leave
it as is, so that other backup admin/operators still can manage your backups
while you are away for a week or 2 on camping or fishing :)

Hi list,
I've read through the postings but haven't seen anything real recently
about the stability of 7.3.2 as of 6/2007. It looks like Jumbo Update 1
came out not too long ago, according to PowerLink, so I'm wondering if this
(7.3.2, with Jumbo Update 1 applied) is finally a stable version to which I
could consider upgrading.
Currently I'm enjoying a generally hassle-free administration task of a
NetWorker 7.2.1 (Solaris) server and over 400 Win32, Win64 and various Unix
clients of over 25 TB per week, so I'm not in a huge hurry to update ...
