Disregarding any 7.5.x vs 7.4.4 discussion, also make sure you:

(a) Have your update enablers authorised and ready

(b) Do a proper, full index backup (e.g., "savegrp -O -l full  
groupName" for a group that has all clients in it); copying indices is  
all well and good, but EMC don't recommend it in their documentation  
and thus if you want a good fall-back scenario that is _supported_ you  
should do the full index backup.

(c) Ensure that you upgrade the storage nodes and the backup server  
together. It is no longer the case that having mixed versions for the  
server and storage node(s) could be recommended.

Cheers,

Preston.
